The Rockies have designated pitcher Pedro Hernandez for assignment, reports Troy Renck of the Denver Post (via Twitter). Hernandez, a 25-year-old lefty, received only one start for Colorado.
Hernandez spent most of the year pitching at Triple-A, working 85 innings and compiling a 6.14 ERA. Last year, with the Twins, he tossed 56 2/3 frames of 6.83 ERA ball.
