ATLANTA – The Atlanta Braves today acquired LHP Brent Suter from the Los Angeles Angels in exchange for INF Nacho Alvarez Jr.
Suter, 36, has pitched to a 1-2 record and a 4.12 ERA (29 ER/63.1 IP) across 41 games for the Angels this season. The 6-foot-4, 213-pound left-hander has appeared in 389 career games across 11 major-league seasons, going 43-26 with a 3.62 ERA (266 ER/660.2 IP). Since 2019, only three MLB pitchers have covered more relief innings than Suter (421.2): Tyler Rogers, Scott Barlow and Raisel Iglesias.
