The Atlanta Braves have made another move Sunday morning, this time, it’s another shuffling of the bullpen. They announced they have selected right-hander Wander Suero for the major league roster. In corresponding moves, they optioned right-hander Daysbel Hern\u00e1ndez to Triple-A Gwinnett and designated right-hander Michael Petersen for assignment.<\/p>\n

The #Braves today also selected RHP Wander Suero to the major league roster, optioned RHP Daysbel Hern\u00e1ndez to Triple-A Gwinnett, and designated RHP Michael Petersen for assignment.<\/p>\n

Seeing Hern\u00e1ndez get sent down is a bit of a surprising move. When healthy, he has been a consistent force in the bullpen all season. A possible explanation is that he has options, and the Braves are opting to use them.<\/p>\n

The bullpen has been taxed over the last few days. They might want a fresh arm for the final game before the All-Star Break and don’t see Petersen as an option.<\/p>\n

In 30 games pitched this season, Hern\u00e1ndez has a 2.10 ERA. In his five appearances since coming off the injured list, he has allowed one earned run, which didn’t come until Saturday’s win over the Cardinals. It’s a head-scratching decision, but he’ll probably be back sometime after the All-Star Break.<\/p>\n

Suero last pitched for the Braves during Spring Training and has been with Triple-A Gwinnett for the entire regular season. He made two appearances during Grapefruit League play, allowing two earned runs.<\/p>\n

His minor league stats have been solid. In 33 games this season, he has a 1.50 ERA and has saved 11 games in 11 opportunities with Triple-A Gwinnett this season.<\/p>\n

Petersen has made four appearances for the Braves this season. He’s provided multiple long relief appearances but to mixed results. He had a 4.05 ERA in 6 2\/3 innings pitched. We’ll have to wait and see what happens after he goes through waivers.<\/p>\n

As surprising as the move is, since the All-Star Break comes this week, there isn’t much to dive into with this move. More changes will likely happen before they resume play on Friday.<\/p>\n
