Daysbel Hernández has a live arm and has shown flashes of the type of stuff that could make any fan dream of him coming in during a big moment in a big game and pitching a shutdown inning in order to preserve the lead. However, he's found it pretty difficult to put it all together in terms of control and command. He also hasn't had much of an opportunity

The Braves announced Thursday that they've released right-hander Cal Quantrill and designated infielder/outfielder Luke Williams for assignment. That duo's roster spots will go to outfielder Jurickson Profar, who's returning from the paternity list, and righty Daysbel Hernandez, who has been recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett. Quantrill's time with Atlanta will last all of two weeks. The Braves claimed the righty off waivers from the Marlins on Aug. 21, absorbing the remaining $715K on his $3.5MM salary in the process.

Daysbel Hernández has experienced unsustainable luck leading to a 1.96 ERA, despite being known for his wildness and declining strikeout rates this season.
