DENVER—The Colorado Rockies activated right-hander Livan Hernandez to start today’s series finale against the San Diego Padres.
Hernandez was claimed off waivers from Minnesota on Wednesday. He was 10-8 with the Twins before being designated for assignment on Aug. 1. He has a 5.48 ERA and 54 strikeouts in 139 2-3 innings this season.
The Rockies designated reliever Kip Wells for assignment. He has missed a large part of the season after having a blood clot removed from his right hand.
Wells returned from the 60-day disabled list on July 21 and made his second start of the season that night against the Los Angeles Dodgers. He gave up eight runs in Colorado’s 16-10 loss.
