The Pirates recalled Hernandez from Triple-A Indianapolis on Thursday.
With Roansy Contreras on paternity leave, Hernandez will join Pittsburgh's bullpen for the start of the season. The 26-year-old southpaw registered a 4.97 ERA and 1.36 WHIP last season across 50.2 innings and will presumably head back to Indianapolis once Contreras rejoins the team.
