The Pittsburgh Pirates have traded catcher Joey Bart to the Atlanta Braves in exchange for right-handed reliever Hunter Stratton.<\/p>\n

Stratton was originally drafted by the Pirates in 2017 and made his debut with Pittsburgh in 2023 before he was dealt to Atlanta last summer.<\/p>\n

The Pirates have assigned Stratton, who made 47 appearances for Pittsburgh from 2023 to 2025, to Triple-A Indianapolis.<\/p>\n

Last season, Stratton posted a 2.20 ERA with the Braves and has only made one appearance so far this season at the MLB level.<\/p>\n

In dealing Joey Bart to the Braves, the Pirates help clear the ongoing logjam at the catcher position<\/a> with Henry Davis and Endy Rodriguez each seeing time behind the plate for Pittsburgh.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 21 appearances for the Pirates this season, Bart was batting .259 with 6 RBIs and 21 strikeouts in 58 at-bats.\u00a0<\/p>\n
