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.

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.

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.
