After trying a warm-up toss, he had to be helped to the dugout by trainers. The good news is, x-rays on his ankle were negative and he expects to make his next scheduled start. Hernandez was 6-5 with a 2.83 ERA over 16 starts this season. [Seattle Mariners] | [NL East Blog] | [Pine for Pine] | [Bleeding Blue and Teal]
