The Braves claimed a former Phillies reliever and outfielder on Friday.

Amid rumors that the Atlanta Braves are interested in stealing away star free-agent J.T. Realmuto from the Philadelphia Phillies, the National League East division rival went ahead and added two recently cut players who formerly donned red pinstripes.

According to the Braves team transactions page, they claimed RHP Victor Arano and outfielder Kyle Garlick off waivers from the Phillies on Friday.
