Oscar Hernandez: Released by Cardinals

Hernandez was released by the Cardinals on Monday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Hernandez signed a minor-league deal in January as a non-roster invitee, but he failed to record a hit over seven plate appearances in spring training before play was suspended. The 26-year-old has struggled in recent seasons and hit just .192/.258/.355 with six home runs and 44 strikeouts over 54 games played at Double-A and Triple-A in 2019.
