Here\u2019s what people were saying about the news:<\/p>\n

Mark Bowman:<\/a> \u201cHern\u00e1ndez will provide bullpen depth. Murphy\u2019s rotation spot will be filled by Martin Perez this week\u201d<\/p>\n

@ChoppinBravos:<\/a> \u201cWe\u2019ve officially reached the \u201cwho?\u201d part of AA\u2019s yearly pitching rotation.\u201d<\/p>\n

@BravesMattC:<\/a> \u201cHern\u00e1ndez is just a disposable arm for long relief over the next few days until Martin P\u00e9rez is likely activated on Wednesday.\u201d<\/p>\n

@RyanLottinger:<\/a> \u201cBraves and the random player name generator. A match made in heaven\u201d<\/p>\n
