Also on Tuesday, the Braves announced that they had sent Connor Thomas back to Triple-A.
The Braves wrote (via X): “The #Braves today selected RHP Elieser Hernández to the major league roster after optioning LHP Connor Thomas to Triple-A Gwinnett following yesterday’s game.”
Thomas had a tough showing on Monday night, as he allowed 11 earned runs.
Mark Bowman MLB.com wrote: “Last night marked the 29th time a pitcher has allowed 11+ ER in 2.2 IP or less. Connor Thomas (11 ER in 2.2 IP) joined Hugh Canavan (13 ER in 2.2 IP at Pirates July 6, 1918) as the only Braves pitcher to do this. Boston’s Tanner Houck did it twice last year (April 14 and May 12)”
Thomas is in the middle of his first season with the Braves.
He had appeared in two games for the Milwaukee Brewers last year.

Here’s what people were saying:
Harrison Smajovits: “The #Braves brought Hernandez back in a hurry after last night”
@NyckYoung: “Yeah lets not bring that dude up again”
@jrlowry007: “Hernandez has potential. Had a great outing last time. Happy to see him back up.”
@JCMilby: “If we need bulk why do we keep bringing these dudes that have no business being on a good mlb team up? You have JR, Owen, and AJ all down there who can give you actual competitive bulk innings? Baffles me”
@Kevin23378457: “Why was he even brought up in the first place. Ridiculous”
