Braves acquire Brent Suter from Angels for Nacho Alvarez Jr

The Atlanta Braves traded infielder Nacho Alvarez Jr. to the Los Angeles Angels for left-handed reliever Brent Suter on August 3, 2026. Suter, a 36-year-old veteran, has a 4.12 ERA and can provide depth as a long reliever or occasional starter. The Braves are looking to strengthen their pitching staff as they lead the National League East with a record of 67-45. This move adds flexibility to Atlanta's bullpen in the lead-up to the postseason, while the Angels gain a young infielder with major league experience. Suter's recent performances include not allowing an earned run in his last three appearances for the Angels.
