The 27-year-old previously played for Worcester and has a notable MLB history, once recognized as a top prospect in the Tampa Bay Rays system. He was traded to Boston prior to 2021 but faced challenges that led to his departure from the 40-man roster. With Boston trading depth catcher Blake Sabol, Hernández will join Worcester for depth behind catchers Carlos Narváez and Connor Wong.
Ronaldo Hernández has returned to the Red Sox on a minor league contract after his release from the Yankees, set to report to Triple-A Worcester.
Hernández was once a top prospect for the Rays, but his trade to the Red Sox in 2021 has favored Tampa Bay.
