Hernandez is expected to pitch out of the bullpen moving forward, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
Trevor Richards will be summoned from Triple-A New Orleans on Thursday to take Hernandez's place in the rotation. The 23-year-old allowed five runs on five hits (including three homers) in just three innings in his most recent start, raising his ERA from 2.50 to 4.29 in the process. The Rule 5 pick will now revert back to the long-relief role he initially served in before joining the starting rotation in mid-May.
