Reds & Braves make trades Wednesday

The Cincinnati Reds moved second baseman Scooter Gennett to the San Francisco Giants and starting pitcher Tanner Roark to the Oakland A’s before the trading deadline Wednesday.

Cincinnati will receive a player to be named from San Francisco for Gennett, a 2018 All-Star. The Reds obtained minor league outfielder Jameson Hannah from Oakland for Roark.

The Atlanta Braves are beefing up their bullpen for the stretch run. They acquired All-Star closer Shane Greene from the Detroit Tigers and Mark Melancon from the San Francisco Giants before yesterday’s trade deadline. Greene has 22 saves in 25 chances this season.
