Roberto Heredia Hernández (born August 30, 1980) is a Dominican former professional baseball pitcher.
He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Cleveland Indians, Tampa Bay Rays, Philadelphia Phillies, Los Angeles Dodgers, Houston Astros and Atlanta Braves. Hernández was a regular part of the Indians' starting rotation for six years under the name of Fausto Carmona, which he had used to obtain a visa to pitch in the United States.
After his true name and age were revealed (he had claimed to be three years younger than he is), he missed much of the 2012 season due to lack of a valid visa, followed by a suspension from MLB for identity fraud.
He returned as a regular starting pitcher with the Tampa Bay Rays in 2013 and the Philadelphia Phillies in 2014.
In mid-2014, the Phillies traded him to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
