Released by the Braves recently, veteran right-hander Livan Hernandez is joining the Brewers, at least that's what former Brewer and current Orioles minor-leaguer Bill Hall has tweeted. CBSSports.com's Jon Heyman has confirmed that Hernandez will indeed join Milwaukee.

Bill Hall is currently with the Orioles' Triple-A team in Norfolk, but he's also moonlighting as a reporter. Friday afternoon Hall tweeted he saw Livan Hernandez, recently released by the Braves, and the veteran right-hander will be joining the Brewers.
