The Atlanta Braves have acquired outfielder Lane Thomas and left-handed pitcher Bailey Falter from the Kansas City Royals, with minor-league pitchers Carter Holton and Lucas Braun heading to Kansas City. Thomas, who has a .230 batting average and 10 home runs this season, aims to enhance the Braves’ lineup as they lead the National League East. Falter has struggled with a 13.97 ERA in five games this season. Braun, the No. 8 prospect in Atlanta’s system, adds to the trade’s value.
