00:00Braves shake up bullpen as Dazebel Hernandez hits I.L.

00:04The Atlanta Braves bullpen is getting another shuffle, and not by choice.

00:09Right-handed reliever Dazebel Hernandez has been placed on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation, retroactive, to Tuesday.

00:17The move puts the brakes on what's been a solid season for the 28-year-old.

00:21Hernandez, who's been a quiet force out of the pen, posted a 4-3 record with a 3.41 ERA across 39 appearances this year.

00:30Since breaking into the majors with the Braves, he's tallied an 8-3 record and a 3.38 ERA over 59 games.

00:38That's production the Braves can't easily replicate, but they're going to have to try.

00:42Enter Hunter Stratton.

00:44Recalled from AAA Gwinnett, the 28-year-old Stratton is getting another shot to prove his worth.

00:49After being traded from the Pittsburgh Pirates on July 1st, Stratton made six relief appearances for Atlanta,

00:56boasting an impressive 1.86 ERA despite a 0-1 record.

01:01Across his time with the Pirates and Braves from 2023 to 2025, he's logged a 2-2 record and a 3.92 ERA in 53 games.

01:11It's another twist in what's been a season filled with bullpen adjustments for the Braves,

01:15who continue to deal with injuries and the pressure of maintaining playoff momentum.

01:19For Stratton, it's a chance to cement a role.

01:22For Hernandez, the hope is a short stay on the shelf.

01:26But with shoulder inflammation, there are no guarantees.

01:30Stay tuned.

01:31This bullpen could be in for more movement if recovery timelines don't go as planned.
