Atlanta designated him for assignment on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Hern\u00e1ndez has had three separate MLB stints for Atlanta this year. He\u2019s logged 11 innings of three-run ball over four long relief outings. The Braves have quickly shuttled him back off the roster each time, as he\u2019d be unavailable for a few days after each appearance and can\u2019t be optioned to the minor leagues. Hern\u00e1ndez has continually cleared waivers despite having decent numbers in his limited MLB work and at the Triple-A level this season.<\/p>\n<p>The 31-year-old righty has started 14 games at Triple-A Gwinnett this season. Hern\u00e1ndez has logged 66 innings of 4.23 ERA ball with a strong 26.4% strikeout rate against a league average 8.7% walk percentage. The Braves have continually brought Hern\u00e1ndez back on minor league contracts after getting him through waivers. They\u2019ll probably look to do so again, though he\u2019ll return to free agency at year\u2019s end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"By Anthony Franco | at September 11, 2026 10:32pm CDT Elieser Hern\u00e1ndez elected free agency after being outrighted&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":892643,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[435],"tags":[49,48,154465,462,82],"class_list":["post-892642","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-elieser-hernandez","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/892642","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=892642"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/892642\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/892643"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=892642"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=892642"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=892642"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
