Braves acquire RHP Anthony Swarzak from Mariners for Arodys Vizcaino and Jesse Biddle

Well, the Braves made a move involving their bullpen, although this one isn’t like to get everyone’s juices flowing a ton.

The Braves had two relievers that, at this point in time, were not likely to contribute in a meaningful way for the foreseeable future. Arodys Vizcaino underwent shoulder surgery to repair his labrum on April 17th and was not going to see any action again this season as a result. Jesse Biddle isn’t hurt per se, but he had lost the ability to reliably throw strikes or get guys out as he posted a 5.
