David Hernandez

Phillies' David Hernandez (triceps) will pitch Monday

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher David Hernandez (triceps) is scheduled to pitch in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Detroit Tigers.

What It Means:

Hernandez hasn't appeared in a Grapefruit League game since March 1 because of right triceps tendinitis, but he's been able to stay on pace on the minor league side of Phillies' camp. He's still in the running for the team's ninth-inning job, though Andrew Bailey might be the leader in the clubhouse right now.

In 2015 with the Arizona Diamondbacks, Hernandez had a 4.28 ERA (4.74 FIP) with a 22.9 percent strikeout rate and a 7.6 percent walk rate.
