Braves trade David Hernandez to Angels

The Los Angeles Angels announced Monday they've acquired right-handed reliever David Hernandez from the Atlanta Braves for a player to be named later or cash considerations.

After signing a minor-league contract with the Braves at the end of March, Hernandez had yet to get into a big-league game with the club, but was impressive for their Triple-A affiliate in Gwinnett, posting a 1.13 ERA during seven appearances, including nine strikeouts.

The 31-year-old veteran of seven big-league seasons appeared in 70 games for the Philadelphia Phillies in 2016, striking out 80 across 72 2/3 innings.

Over the course of his career, Hernandez owns a 28-39 record with a 4.10 ERA across 379 appearances, including 27 starts.
