The Dodgers announced they've designated right-hander Elieser Hernández for assignment to clear a roster spot for closer Evan Phillips returning from the injured list.
Hernández struggled in his limited appearance with the Dodgers, giving up five homers in 9 2/3 innings, leading to his designation for assignment.
Despite his struggles in the majors, Hernández had an impressive 2.83 ERA in Triple-A, potentially attracting interest from other teams if he clears waivers.
Closer Evan Phillips, returning from injury, had a strong start to the season before his hamstring strain, maintaining a 1.64 ERA over 148 1/3 innings with the Dodgers.
