The Atlanta Braves already swung one deal for a reliever, and now it looks like they are adding another. MLB.com’s Mark Bowman reports that the Braves have acquired left-hander Taylor Hearn from the Texas Rangers. Hearn was designated for assignment last week by Texas.
Hearn has spent most of the year at Triple A, but struggled in four appearances at the major league level with the Rangers allowing eight runs in seven innings. He appeared in 24 games at Triple A where he had a 3.66 ERA and a 4.09 FIP in 39 1/3 innings.
