News broke Wednesday afternoon that the Atlanta Braves will be shipping starting pitcher Lucas Harrell and left-handed relief pitcher Dario Alvarez to the Texas Rangers.
Harrell pitched a fantastic game last night against the Minnesota Twins, going six innings giving up four hits, three walks and had four strikeouts. He picked up his second win of the 2016 season as he’s now 2-2 for the Braves. Harrell has started five games in the majors this season and has a 3.38 ERA with a 1.261 WHIP.
The 31-year-old starter clearly wasn’t in the Braves long-term plan so they traded him to the Rangers while value was high.
