The Braves added another reliever Tuesday, claiming right-hander Jay Flaa off waivers from the Orioles, who designated him for assignment Saturday.

Flaa, 28, has one major-league appearance. It occurred earlier this season, when he pitched 1-1/3 innings against the Yankees. The North Dakota native has a three-pitch mix, including a fastball that sits around 93 mph.

Flaa was a sixth-round pick in the 2015 draft. He has a 3.41 ERA across 165 minor-league games. The Braves’ 40-man roster is full following the addition.
