The Atlanta Braves are acquiring right-hander Tyler Mahle from the San Francisco Giants as the MLB Trade Deadline approaches, according to multiple reports. The deal adds another veteran arm to Atlanta’s pitching staff shortly after the team makes a separate move to boost its rotation depth. One report says the Braves traded for Bailey Falter earlier in the week, and that Mahle is the second pitching addition in as many days. Another source notes the timing comes shortly after Atlanta places right-hander Reynaldo López on the 15-day injured list.
Mahle is 31 and has posted a high ERA this season with the Giants, with figures cited around 5.14 to 5.18 ERA over 18 games. Reports also say Atlanta sends right-hander Anthony Molina to San Francisco as part of the trade. The sources collectively frame the move as an effort to strengthen starting-pitcher options for the stretch toward the postseason. Terms including exact cost and player compensation beyond Molina are not fully detailed across the provided accounts.
