Reyes was recalled from Triple-A El Paso on Friday.

Reyes hasn't found success in the big leagues this season, accruing a 10.91 ERA and 1.66 WHIP with a 23:9 K:BB over 15.2 innings. He'll get another shot in the majors after Jose Castillo was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left middle finger strain.

Castillo was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with a left middle finger strain.

Castillo suffered the injury Thursday night in his first game back from the 60-day IL, so he'll head right back to the shelf for at least the next 10 days. He'll be eligible to return Aug. 19. Gerardo Reyes was recalled from Triple-A El Paso in a corresponding move.

Hernandez has been designated for assignment Friday.

The 34-year-old righty posted an 8.02 ERA in 42.2 innings this year. Sal Romano was recalled to take his place in the bullpen.

Kinley was recalled from Triple-A New Orleans on Friday, Andre Fernandez of The Athletic reports.

He wouldn't normally be eligible to return to the majors after getting sent to Triple-A earlier this week, but with Tayron Guerrero (fingernail) landing on the injured list, Kinley can be recalled in a corresponding move. He has not allowed a run in 4.1 innings in August.

Barraclough was claimed off waivers by the Giants on Friday.

Barraclough was designated for assignment by the Nationals earlier in the week and will now make his way to the west coast. The 29-year-old had a 6.66 ERA and 30:12 K:BB over 25.2 innings with Washington and will report to Triple-A Sacramento for his new club.

Weigel was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett prior to Friday's game in Miami.

He hasn't pitched in three days, so Weigel will give the Braves a fresh bullpen arm in the short term. While he has been developed as a starter for most of this season (his first full year back from Tommy John surgery), he has been deployed as a reliever lately at Triple-A. Weigel has not allowed a run while striking out six and allowing two hits and two walks over his last seven innings. Despite a brief stint on the 25-man roster in July, the 25-year-old right-hander has yet to make his big-league debut.

The injury that caused Castillo to leave Thursday's game may be tendon-related, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.

An earlier report suggested that Castillo may have exited due to a blister, but the presence of a splint on his left middle finger after the game implies that the injury may be more severe. Castillo suffered the injury while pitching in his first major-league game this season following a stint on the 60-day injured list due to a left forearm flexor strain.

Castillo left Thursday's game against the Rockies due to an apparent finger injury, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports. He walked one and struck out two over 0.2 innings prior to departing.

Castillo was just activated from the injured list earlier in the day after missing time with a left forearm flexor strain, though he now appears to be dealing with a blister on his right hand, per Acee. The lefty will be considered day-to-day until more information on his status is revealed.

Hernandez (2-4) struck out seven over six scoreless innings while earning the win Thursday against the Braves, allowing two hits with two walks.

Hernandez allowed a triple in the first inning and loaded the bases in the second, but he cruised after that point and was given plenty of run support to earn the win. His seven punchouts tied a season high, and he completed six innings for just the second time in 14 appearances. Hernandez endured two poor starts in his last three, so this was a nice way to get back on track. He will take a 4.94 ERA into his next start at home against the Dodgers.

Hernandez (2-4) earned the win Thursday after holding the Braves scoreless over six innings. He allowed two hits and two walks while striking out six.

Making his 14th start of the year, Hernandez turned in a solid performance against a volatile Braves lineup. Despite having trouble keeping the ball in the park this season, the 24-year-old limited Atlanta to a triple by Ozzie Albies in the first inning and a single by Ronald Acuna in the sixth. It was a nice bounceback outing for Hernandez after getting pummelled for five runs over three frames against the Rays in last start. The right-hander improves to a 4.94 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 48:18 K:BB as he gears up for a tough matchup at home versus the Dodgers on Wednesday.
