Career[]
Fernández signed with the Colorado Rockies in 2012 as an international free agent. He made his professional debut in 2013 with the Rookie-level DSL Rockies where he compiled a 1–1 record and 7.94 ERA in ten games. In 2014, he returned to the DSL, posting a 1–0 record and 5.60 ERA in 18 relief appearances, and in 2015, he split time between the DSL and the Rookie-level Grand Junction Rockies, pitching to a combined 3–2 record, 3.55 ERA and 1.11 WHIP in 28 total games between the two clubs. He spent 2016 with the Class A Short Season Boise Hawks, going 1–2 with a 1.17 ERA in 21 appearances out of the bullpen. His 2017 season was spent with the Class A Asheville Tourists, posting a 1–2 record and 3.26 ERA with 57 strikeouts in 51 games.[1]
The San Francisco Giants selected Fernández from the Colorado Rockies organization with the second pick in the 2017 Rule 5 draft.[2] He underwent Tommy John surgery and missed the 2018 season.[3] On November 19, 2018, Fernández was claimed off waivers by the Miami Marlins.[4] Fernández spent the 2019 season on the 60–day injured list and did not appear in a game, as he suffered a set-back with more elbow issues during the year.[5][6] On October 19, 2019, Fernández was removed from the Marlins 40-man roster and returned to the Rockies organization.[7] He did not play a minor league game in 2020 since the season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
On September 1, 2021, the Rockies promoted Fernández to the major leagues.[8] He made his MLB debut on September 5, allowing 3 earned runs in 1.2 innings of work against the Atlanta Braves.[9]
