The Atlanta Braves made room on their roster Wednesday for newly acquired left-hander Brad Hand by placing right-hander Daysbel Hernandez on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to Tuesday. . Hernandez (right forearm inflammation) pitched 3 2/3 innings over four appearances since making his return from Tommy John surgery in his MLB debut on July 23. The 26-year-old sports a 7.36 ERA after allowing three earned runs and six hits with three walks and six strikeouts.
Hand was acquired from the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday in exchange for minor league pitcher Alec Barger.
Hand, 33, is a three-time All-Star in his 13-year career but is well traveled. The Braves will be his ninth team, and once he throws his first pitch for the National League East leaders, he will have played for every team in the division.
Hand was 3-1 with a 4.54 ERA in 40 appearances for the Rockies. In 35 2/3 innings, he gave up 18 runs, struck out 41 and walked 16.
Hand has appeared in 559 games (43 starts). He is 38-53 with a 3.66 ERA and 131 saves.
