Atlanta reinstated Herget (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Saturday.
Right shoulder inflammation has kept Herget on the shelf since June 8, but he's now been cleared to return to Atlanta's bullpen after pitching a scoreless inning in the Florida Complex League. The 30-year-old has allowed three earned runs in 7.1 innings in the majors this season and should work in middle relief while in Atlanta. Daysbel Hernandez was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett in a corresponding move.
