JULY 27, 2021 • THEATHLETIC.COM
Traded to Houston Graveman and Rafael Montero were traded from the Mariners to the Astros in exchange for Abraham Toro and Joe Smith on Tuesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Impact The players will simply switch clubhouses since the two teams are in the midst of a three-game set in Seattle. Graveman has been electric this season with an 0.82 ERA, 0.70 WHIP and 34:8 K:BB over 33 innings, and he recorded four holds and 10 saves in 12 chances. Ryan Pressly has also been dominant as Houston's closer this year, so Graveman figures to lose some fantasy value and operate as a setup man for his new team.

Picks up relief win Graveman (4-0) earned the win in relief Monday against the Astros after hurling a scoreless inning, walking one and striking out two.
Impact Graveman entered the seventh inning with the Mariners down by a run, and he needed just 16 pitches (nine strikes) to get the job done en route to his 12th straight outing without allowing an earned run. The right-hander has been one of the best relievers in the American League this year and owns a career-best 0.82 ERA through 30 games (33 innings) in 2021.

Locks up save No. 10 Graveman pitched a scoreless ninth to pick up his 10th save of the year Friday against the Athletics. He did not allow a hit but walked a batter and struck out two in the process.
Impact Graveman issued a walk to Matt Chapman in the inning but closed the door with back-to-back strikeouts to end the game. He went over two weeks without a save in July but has now picked up two of them in a span of four days. He continues to be rock solid with a 0.87 ERA, 0.71 WHIP and 31:7 K:BB over 31 innings.

Tallies ninth save Graveman allowed one and struck out two across a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save Tuesday against the Rockies.
Impact Graveman was given a two-run lead and had little trouble closing the door to earn his ninth save of the season. He walked the first batter he faced, but proceeded to retire the next three -- two via strikeout. It was also Graveman's first save since July 4, with Paul Sewald logging two in that span. Even so, Graveman hasn't allowed an earned run across his last nine outings so should remain in the closer mix as long as he remains with the Mariners.

Notches eighth save Graveman fired a perfect ninth inning while striking out one to earn the save in the win over the Rangers on Sunday.
Impact Graveman had yet another solid performance out of the bullpen, retiring the side Sunday. He now leads the Mariners with eight saves, but he is often used in the seventh and eighth innings in high-leverage situations. The 30-year-old has a 1.03 ERA and a 0.65 WHIP, allowing just three runs through 26.1 innings this season. He has allowed just two hits in 5.2 innings over his last five appearances.

Pockets win Wednesday Graveman (2-0) walked one without allowing a hit over 1.2 scoreless innings to pick up the win in Wednesday's 9-7 extra-inning victory over the Blue Jays. He didn't strike out a ba...
Impact The 30-year-old entered the game in the eighth inning and was still the pitcher of record when Dylan Moore broke open a 6-6 tie in the top of the 10th with a three-run blast. Graveman gave up his first earned runs of the year in June, finishing the month with a 3.52 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 4:2 K:BB through 7.2 innings in addition to a win and two saves over seven appearances, and he should remain part of Seattle's closer mix unless he gets flipped before the trade deadline.
