Troy E. Renck of the Denver Post reports the Rockies, in the hunt for a fifth starter, are pursuing Livan Hernandez as he clears waivers.
"’He’s someone we have talked about in the past,’ said [Clint] Hurdle, whose team made a late run at Hernandez as a free agent in February. Several Rockies players are pulling for the team to sign Hernandez (10-8, 5.48) as a fifth starter."
Hernandez was DFA’d on Friday and won’t clear waivers until Tuesday. He still has $1.66 MM remaining on his contract.
