HBT: Pitcher has false identity charges dropped

According to the Associated Press, Roberto Hernandez Heredia struck a deal to have his false identity charges dropped in exchange for completing a work program in his native Dominican Republic.

Hernandez, formerly known as Fausto Carmona, was placed on baseball?s restricted list in January after he was arrested for faking his identity. He is currently preparing for the season at the Indians? complex in the Dominican and hoped to receive a judicial pardon in order to resume his playing career in the United States. We don?t know the details of the work program yet and he may still have trouble obtaining a visa, so the timeline for his return is unclear.

The Indians picked up Hernandez?s $7 club million option last October, but he won?t be paid as along as he remains on the restricted list.
