2023 Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Hernandez spent the first two months in the Marlins rotation. He was sporting a 6.75 ERA and 1.44 WHIP when he was demoted to Triple-A Jacksonville in early June. Hernandez was recalled in early July to pitch as a reliever. He had another stint with the Jumbo Shrimp in August but finished the campaign in the Marlins bullpen. Homers have always been an issue for the righty, but last season was extreme with 19 surrendered in only 62.1 frames. Combined with fewer strikeouts and more walks and it's understandable why Hernandez finished with a 6.35 ERA, the eighth worst among hurlers collecting at least 50 innings. The Mets must still see something they like since they traded for Hernandez in the offseason to serve as a depth piece. Citi Field, like Marlins Stadium, is a good place to pitch, but Hernandez needs to show he can keep the ball in the yard before getting an invite to the fantasy party. Read Past Outlooks

Traded to Mets
Hernandez and reliever Jeff Brigham were traded from the Marlins to the Mets in exchange for minor-league pitcher Franklin Sanchez on Friday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Hernandez will make his way to New York after being designated for assignment by the Marlins on Tuesday and dealt via trade a few days later. The right-hander appeared in 20 games with the Marlins in 2022, including 10 starts, producing an inflated 6.35 ERA and 1.43 WHIP with 60 strikeouts over 62.1 innings. Hernandez will provide the Mets with an additional depth option for their starting rotation.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
2020
Hernandez may not not have the upside that others on the Miami staff do, but what he lacks in stuff he makes up for in command when he can stay healthy. Hernandez was progressing nicely in 2020 before injuries ended his season and the same thing happened last year with both a biceps injury as well as a severe quad strain limiting him to 51.2 innings. He has never been able to stay on the mound for any length of time, and one wonders if his future is in the bullpen given the massive splits in his history. Hernandez has a 20.8 K-BB% with a 1.09 WHIP against righties but a 9.4 K-BB% and a 1.50 WHIP against lefties for his career. The lack of an effective changeup is mostly to blame and he cannot turn a lineup over a third time without one. He was attempting to use his changeup more last year, doubling its usage from 2020 before his injury.
