The Tampa Bay Rays have welcomed reliever Jonathan Hernández to their MLB camp as a non-roster invitee following his signing of a minor league deal. The 28-year-old brings experience from the Texas Rangers and Mariners, having posted a strong 2020 but suffering setbacks due to injuries in subsequent seasons. Despite struggles leading to a high ERA in recent years, Hernández has showcased potential and skill, particularly with his slider, which he utilizes frequently, and is eager to reclaim a position in the majors with the Rays.
Hernández has fared a lot better with his slider, which he uses roughly half the time, and his infrequently deployed changeup, although he struggles with his sinker.
Hernández has kept the ball on the ground on half the batted balls he has allowed, even as his ERA has suffered in recent seasons.
