The Houston Astros sent veteran right-hander Rafael Montero and cash considerations to the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday in exchange for a player to be named later.
Montero, 34, had been with the Astros since a late-season move with the Seattle Mariners in 2021, and he contributed to Houston’s 2022 World Series victory, going 1-0 with a 1.93 ERA in 10 relief appearances (9 1/3 innings) that postseason.
Montero had pitched in three games for the Astros so far this season, amassing a 4.50 ERA in four innings with no decisions or saves.
In 11 MLB seasons with the New York Mets (2014-17), Texas Rangers (2019-20), Seattle (2021) and Houston, Montero is 22-28 with 30 saves and a 4.71 ERA in 324 appearances (30 starts). Montero has amassed 464 strikeouts in 466 1/3 innings.
