Rotowire
Atlanta activated Hernandez (forearm) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

Braves' Daysbel Hernandez: Might have key setup role
Rotowire
Hernandez could take over the high-leverage role left open by the absence of Joe Jimenez (knee) in the Atlanta bullpen, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
Hernandez posted a 2.50 ERA and dazzling 26:10 K:BB over 18 innings in the majors last season, collecting three wins and a hold in 16 appearances.

Pierce Johnson will handle some of those late-inning assignments, but Hernandez could be an under-the-radar holds source in 2025.
