Hernandez arrived in Reading, Pennsylvania, where the Aeros were playing the Phillies, shortly before game time Saturday, but did not see action in a 7-4 Aeros win.

Hernandez, 33, was on the Aeros opening day roster, and appeared in one game, going 2-4, with a run scored. He was promoted to the Tribe's Triple-A team in Columbus (OH) on April 13th. While with the Clippers, he played in two games, collecting one hit- a double- in six at-bats.

The Aeros roster now stands at 24 players.

The Aeros will wrap up their three-game series with Reading on Sunday afternoon at 1:35. Following Sunday's game, the Aeros will play three in Bowie, Maryland against the Baysox.
