ATLANTA -- The Braves have acquired outfielder Adam Duvall from the Cincinnati Reds to bolster their lineup for a postseason push.
The Braves sent right-handers Lucas Sims and Matt Wisler and outfielder Preston Tucker to Cincinnati. All three spent time in Atlanta this season but were with Triple-A Gwinnett at the time of the trade.
The trade was announced after the Braves' 5-3 win over Miami on Monday night.
Duvall reacted to the trade in a series of tweets on Tuesday.
