Following a scoreless seven innings Sunday, Jake Odorizzi was traded to the Atlanta Braves. The Houston Astros acquired left-handed reliever Will Smith for the starting pitcher.

Odorizzi posted a 3.75 ERA over 60 innings pitched this season for the Astros. The righty punched out 46 batters to his 17 walks and was a member of a six-man rotation following his return from the injured list.

Smith isn't having his best season for the Braves, he sports a 4.38 ERA and a 10.0 K/9 over 37 innings this year. The lefty joins a bullpen lacking his kind of arm, he's the third Monday acquisition for the Astros.
