The Pirates have acquired infielder Drew Sutton from the Braves in exchange for cash considerations, tweets Rob Biertempfel of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. Sutton, 28, owns a .258/.322/.403 slash line in 178 big league plate appearances.
The utility man signed a minor league contract with Atlanta in November. Sutton was hitting .267/.373/.363 in 37 games for Triple-A Gwinnett this season. He'll be assigned to Triple-A Indianapolis, and Biertempfel tweets that he expects the club to make a corresponding move.
