Pirates debut Carmen Mlodzinski, place Hernandez on IL and select Borucki.

Taking his place in the bullpen is veteran Ryan Borucki, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Indianapolis.

Beyond Hernandez’s R5 status is the bigger issue of how his absence will further impact an injury-riddled Pirates bullpen.
