The Atlanta Braves have made a trade to address bullpen issues, acquiring reliever Tyson Miller from the Seattle Mariners in exchange for minor-league infielder Jake Slaughter.

Miller had a 3.09 ERA in nine major-league games with the Mariners this season before being designated for assignment. The Cubs also designated left-handed reliever Richard Lovelady for assignment to make room for Miller on the roster, highlighting the team's struggles with injuries to their bullpen.
