The Atlanta Braves announced Sunday that they have optioned reliever Daysbel Hernandez to Gwinnett. The move paves the way for the return of A.J. Minter, who made a third rehab appearance at Gwinnett Sunday.
Hernandez has pitched extremely well for the Braves and hasn't allowed an earned run in 9 2⁄3 innings across nine appearances this season, with a 32.4% strikeout rate and only three walks. However, having options worked against him, leading to his option to Gwinnett.
Minter, who was on the injured list with a hip injury, pitched a scoreless inning at Gwinnett in his final tune-up. Before his injury, Minter had a 2.95 ERA and a 4.89 FIP in 21 1⁄3 innings over 25 games.
