The Cincinnati Reds have called up right-handed pitcher Sal Romano from Triple-A Louisville. He’ll be taking the place of right-handed pitcher David Hernandez on the roster, who was designated for assignment.
Whether it was health related – he was recently on the injured list for a shoulder fatigue issue – or mechanical – he had cited he noticed some things on video – David Hernandez simply was struggling to get outs for most of the season. Over the last five weeks he’s made 12 appearances and allowed 23 hits, 22 earned runs, 5 home runs, walked 9 batters, and struck out 9 batters in just 8.
