The Braves and Tigers exchanged veteran infielders on Tuesday, with Detroit acquiring Erick Aybar from Atlanta for Mike Aviles, plus Minor League catcher Kade Scivicque.
In a separate move, the Tigers recalled outfielder Steven Moya from Triple-A Toledo. Moya will be available for the Tigers' game against the Royals on Tuesday night at Comerica Park.
Aybar batted .242/.293/.313 over 97 games for the Braves this season while serving as the club's regular shortstop. The 32-year-old switch-hitter has improved after a rough start, however, putting up a .289/.346/.396 line since the beginning of June.
