公爵在最近直接向 Rizzo 询问自己是否有机会能够在9月扩编时升上大联盟，不过被 Rizzo 婉拒。Rizzo 表示希望公爵今年能够在2A完成这个球季，遗憾的是遭到公爵的 拒绝，并於星期天离开了球队。 Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez leaves Nationals, still wants to pitch Orlando Hernandez - the half-brother of Nationals starter Livan Hernandez best known as "El Duque" - left Class AA Harrisburg on Sunday after General Manager Mike Rizzo informed him he would be a September call-up. Hernandez asked Rizzo point-blank, and Rizzo told him he wouldn't be pitching in the majors. "It's safe to say his expectation was to be a September call-up," Rizzo said. "With the additional guys that we're going to put on the roster, it was something I felt wasn't warranted at this time." Over 11 appearances with the Gulf Coast Nationals and Harrisburg, Orlando Hernandez, 44, had a 1.72 ERA over 15 2/3 innings with 21 strikeouts and five walks. Rizzo persuaded Hernandez to finish the season with Harrisburg, but he decided to end his stay with the Nationals. "He was really the happy the team gave him a chance to pitch," Livan Hernandez said. "He understood the situation." While Orlando Hernandez will no longer be a National, Livan Hernandez said "El Duque" will try to resume his career next season as a 45-year-old. Orlando Hernandez last pitched in the majors for the Mets in 2007. "He's going to pitch next year," Livan Hernandez said. "He wants to be a reliever. He can be a great reliever." --
