The Chicago Cubs traded outfielder Todd Hollandsworth to the Atlanta Braves on Monday night for minor league pitchers Todd Blackford and Angelo Burrows.

The Cubs are expected to pursue Rafael Furcal, Atlanta's free-agent shortstop, who is 27 years old and will command a three- or four-year deal for around $8 million per season.

The Braves activated catcher Johnny Estrada from the 15-day disabled list before Monday's game against the Cubs.
