The Diamondbacks plan to have pitcher David Hernandez pitch at Double-A sometime over the weekend, manager Chip Hale said, according The Arizona Republic.
Hernandez is suffering from an elbow injury and he has not pitched for the Diamondbacks this season. He pitched a scoreless inning during a rehab assignment in Class A on Monday.
"He wont be back at least until after the weekend," Hale said to MLB.com. "I think that's something we talked about, but I don't think we do. I think we can do it up here if we had to after he had a few outings. I think we could give him every other day for a while until we're ready to do that."
