CHICAGO -- The Houston Astros traded for veteran reliever Kendall Graveman on Friday, sending Triple-A catcher Korey Lee back to the Chicago White Sox in the deal.
Since Wednesday night, the White Sox have traded five pitchers -- Graveman, Lucas Giolito (Angels), Reynaldo Lopez (Angels), Lance Lynn (Dodgers) and Joe Kelly (Dodgers).
Graveman, 32, has appeared in 45 games this season, compiling a 3.48 ERA while giving up 33 hits in 44 innings. He slots in as a setup man in the Houston bullpen, the same role he had with the Astros in the second half of 2021 before inking a deal with the White Sox.
