On Opening Day, the Braves acquired lefty reliever Richard “Get Your Mind Out of There” Lovelady from the Royals in exchange for cash considerations and optioned him to Triple-A Gwinnett. Over the past couple of weeks, Lovelady made five appearances for Gwinnett with a 3.57 FIP and unsightly 5.51 xFIP.
As of today, the Braves lost Lovelady on waivers to the Oakland Athletics.
The A’s have claimed LHP Richard Lovelady off waivers from Atlanta and assigned him to Triple-A Las Vegas. To clear space on the 40-man roster, the A’s transferred right-handed pitcher Freddy Tarnok to the 60-day injured list.
