The Atlanta Braves acquired left-handed reliever Aaron Bummer in a multiplayer trade with the Chicago White Sox on Thursday night.
The Braves sent pitchers Mike Soroka, Jared Shuster and Riley Gowens, along with infielders Nicky Lopez and Braden Shewmake, to the White Sox. The move creates some room on Atlanta's 40-man roster early in the offseason.
Bummer went 5-5 with a career-high 6.79 earned run average (ERA) in 61 appearances this year. The 30-year-old was selected by Chicago in the 19th round in the 2014 draft.
Atlanta is hoping a change of scenery will help Bummer return to the form that made him an effective lefty setup man.
