The Atlanta Braves acquired left-hander José Suárez from the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday in a trade for right-handed starter Ian Anderson.
By the numbers:
Anderson had a 2.65 ERA and a whopping 18 walks over 17 innings this spring for the Braves, including four starts. He hasn’t pitched in the majors since 2022 after undergoing Tommy John surgery in early 2023, but he was fighting for a spot on Atlanta’s roster this spring.
The 26-year-old was the third overall pick in the 2016 draft by Atlanta, and he is 22-13 with a 3.97 ERA over parts of three major league seasons.
