UNDATED (AP) _ The Indians pulled off a major trade for a couple of hitters after getting shut out by Justin Verlander and the Astros.
A person familiar with the negotiations says Cleveland has agreed to trade enigmatic pitcher Trevor Bauer to Cincinnati as part of a three-team deal that includes San Diego.
The person said that Cleveland would get slugger Yasiel Puig (YAH’-see-ul pweeg) and left-hander Scott Moss from the Reds and would receive outfielder Franmil Reyes, lefty Logan Allen and infielder Victor Nova from the Padres.
San Diego would get minor league outfielder Taylor Trammell from the Reds.
Also around the majors:
_ The Braves have picked up reliever Chris Martin from the Rangers for minor league pitcher Kolby Allard. Martin is 0-2 with four saves and a 3.08 ERA in 38 appearances this season. The 33-year-old right-hander has allowed only three earned runs over his last 19 games since May 24.
_ The Chicago Cubs have added bullpen depth by acquiring right-hander David Phelps from Toronto for minor league righty Thomas Hatch. Phelps tore the ulnar collateral ligament in his pitching elbow during 2017 spring training and didn’t return to the majors until last month, compiling a 3.63 ERA in 17 relief appearances since being activated.
_ The White Sox have activated shortstop Tim Anderson and recalled Carson Fulmer from Triple-A Charlotte. Anderson was hitting .317 with 11 homers and 37 RBIs in 70 games before spraining his right ankle on June 25.
_ The Pirates have suspended bullpen coach Euclides Rojas for two games over what it termed a contract violation. It is Pittsburgh’s second suspension this month involving the bullpen and follows reliever Keone Kela’s two-game suspension for an unspecified violation of his contract.
