ATLANTA – The Atlanta Braves acquired left-handed reliever Lucas Luetge from the New York Yankees in exchange for two minor leaguers on Wednesday night.
The Yankees acquired right-hander Indigo Diaz and infielder Caleb Durbin.
Luetge, 35, posted ERAs under 3.00 while pitching in at least 50 games in each of the last two seasons with New York. The left-hander was 4-4 with a 2.67 ERA and two saves in 2022. He had 60 strikeouts in 57 1/3 innings.
In 2021, Luetge was 4-2 with a 2.74 ERA and one save.
