September 7, 2008 Hernandez has been suspended 50 games by Major League Baseball for testing positive for amphetimines, according to the Houston Chronicle.
Our View:Hernandez has had trouble returning to glory since early-career success with Kansas City. He made four starts for Houston this season and posted a 8.38 ERA. He will serve the 50-game suspension at the beginning of next season.
July 28, 2008 Runelvys Hernandez has been sent down to Triple-A following four poor starts with the Astros. He had a 8.38 ERA and a 2.22 WHIP while going 0-3.
Our View:He was sent down to make room for pitcher Roy Oswalt. If Oswalt were to go down yet again, he may get another chance to get hammered with the big league club.
July 19, 2008 The Astros recalled Runelvys Hernandez from Triple-A Round Rock Saturday to replace the injured Roy Oswalt on the DL.

July 9, 2008 Runelvys Hernandez has been sent down to Triple-A Round Rock, according to the Houston Chronicle. The team recalled reliever Chad Reineke as the adjoining move.
