The Philadelphia Phillies have rounded out their bullpen with a blazing arm as Opening Day draws near. According to NBC Sports Philadelphia’s Corey Seidman, the Phillies have signed veteran Carlos Hernandez.
Opening Day is just days away, but the Philadelphia Phillies are still tinkering with their roster. The Phillies added some last-minute bullpen depth on Sunday, claiming right-handed reliever Carlos Hernandez off waivers from the Kansas City Royals.
The Royals have cleared three spots on their 40-man roster, according to a report from Anne Rogers of MLB.com. The club placed first baseman Nick Pratto, outfielder Nelson Velazquez, and right-hander Carlos Hernandez on waivers.
It had been a 21-year drought for the Seattle Mariners before the club made the postseason in 2022 and now they are on the verge of making it for the second year in a row. Still, even teams built to content consistently will seek upgrades in the offseason.
