Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reports that the Braves will sign recently released Livan Hernandez. Well, that was fast. Hernandez was just released by the Astros a couple hours ago but has already found a new job. He'll likely slide into the No. 5 spot in the rotation and keep it warm until Tim Hudson is ready, pushing Randall Delgado and Julio Teheran to Triple-A. Hernandez has posted a 5.63 ERA and 1.81 WHIP this spring.
