To make room for Hernandez on their roster, the White Sox optioned right-hander Jhan Marinez to Triple-A.
Marinez, one of the players acquired this off-season from the Miami Marlins in exchange for manager Ozzie Guillen, was just called up by the White Sox. Before being sent back to Triple-A, the 23-year-old appeared in one game.
Over his 26 appearances for the White Sox Triple-A affiliate, Marinez has maintained an ERA and WHIP of 3.14 and 1.116 with 9.8 SO/9 and 4.2 BB/9.
Hernandez has appeared in 14 games, including 13 starts, for the White Sox Double- and Triple-A affiliates. Over his 80 2/3 innings pitched, he’s maintained an ERA and WHIP of 2.90 and 1.227.
