The Braves acquired outfielder Adam Duvall from the Reds for pitchers Matt Wisler and Lucas Sims and outfielder Preston Tucker.
With questions about how Braves would handle moving prospects at the trade deadline, general manager Alex Anthopoulos found a way to strengthen his bench by exchanging players who simply couldn't secure roles on the team.
Duvall, 29, is slashing .205/.286/.399 with 15 homers and 61 RBIs. He strengthens the Braves' bench and adds pop the unit otherwise lacked.
The corner outfielder is scheduled for his first year of arbitration in 2019. He's controllable through 2021.
Wisler was a key piece going from the Padres to Braves in the Craig Kimbrel-Melvin Upton deal in 2015. Sims was the Braves' first rounder (No. 21 overall) in 2012. The Braves acquired Tucker from the Astros last December, and he handled left field duties before Ronald Acuna's promotion in late April.
