The Baltimore Orioles traded left-hander Tommy Milone to the Atlanta Braves on Sunday for two players to be named later, the Braves announced.
Atlanta designated infielder Matt Adams for assignment to make room for Milone on the active roster.
Milone, 33, is 1-4 with a 3.99 ERA and 3.85 FIP in six starts for Baltimore.
The veteran southpaw was scheduled to start Monday for the Orioles. Instead, he'll pitch for the Braves on Monday after undergoing intake testing, Atlanta general manager Alex Anthopoulos said, according to The Athletic's Jeff Schultz.
Atlanta's rotation has struggled to accumulate innings without Mike Soroka (Achilles), Cole Hamels (triceps), and Felix Hernandez (opt out). Braves starters are averaging 4 2/3 innings per start so far this season.
2018 All-Star Mike Foltynewicz was also outrighted to the team's alternate training site at the end of July after making one poor start.
