LOS ANGELES – The Braves on Thursday made a minor trade.
They acquired right-hander Jimmy Herget from the Angels for cash considerations. They optioned Herget to Triple-A Gwinnett.
The Angels recently designated Herget for assignment.
Herget, 30, has a career 3.47 ERA across 142 2/3 innings in the major leagues. Last season, the reliever posted a 4.66 ERA over 29 frames for the Angels.
Herget hasn’t yet pitched in the majors this season. In 10 relief appearances for the Triple-A Salt Lake Bees before the trade, Herget had given up seven runs – five earned – over 11 1/3 innings.
Herget, now part of Atlanta’s 40-man roster, will serve as additional depth in Gwinnett.
