The 24-year-old pitcher was immediately sent to Triple-A following the trade being finalized.<\/p>\n

Molina (who was in his first season with the Braves) had appeared in three MLB<\/a> games this year.<\/p>\n

He went 0-0 with a 5.40 ERA.<\/p>\n

Before the Braves, Molina had spent the first two seasons of his career with the Colorado Rockies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what people were saying about Molina:<\/p>\n

@sfgiantfutures:<\/a> \u201cNewest SF Giants RHP Anthony Molina, 24 years old, coming over from the Braves. He has a career 6.89 ERA in the Majors, but all but three of those games came with Colorado; this year he had a 5.40 ERA in three relief big league appearances. He\u2019s had a 3.64 ERA in AAA this year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jeff Young:<\/a> \u201cAnthony Molina is on the Braves\u2019 40-man roster. The results have not been there (6.89 ERA), but he has decent fastball velocity. Would probably benefit from throwing his curveball more. The trade opens up a spot in the rotation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thomas Nestico:<\/a> \u201cAnthony Molina (acquired by SF) is a 24-year-old righty who has performed well in AAA this season but has never found his footing in MLB. His fastball sits 96-97 mph and he has posted strong whiff rates on his secondaries. He projects as a depth arm\u201d<\/p>\n

The Giants are coming off a series where they lost three out of four games to the San Diego Padres.<\/p>\n

They will now visit the Texas Rangers<\/a> on Monday night.<\/p>\n

Despite a talented roster, the Giants are the fourth-place team in the National League West with a 47-65 record in 112 games.<\/p>\n

On the road, they have gone 21-38 in 59 games away from Oracle Park in San Francisco.<\/p>\n
