Giants' David Hernandez: Granted release by Giants

Hernandez was released by the Giants on Friday, Alex Pavlovic of CSN Bay Area Sports reports.

Analysis:

Hernandez had requested the move after being informed he would not make the Opening Day roster. The 31-year-old was attempting to earn a bullpen spot after appearing in 70 games for Philadelphia last season, but posted a 4.76 ERA over six Cactus League games this spring. He'll look to latch on to a roster elsewhere.
