\"\"MIAMI (AP) \u2014 The first-place Washington Nationals have added another late-inning reliever by acquiring right-hander Brandon Kintzler from the Minnesota Twins. Minnesota gets 24-year-old left-handed pitching prospect Tyler Watson and $500,000 in international bonus pool allocation in the deal.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Yankees and Dodgers have bolstered their starting rotations as they attempt to secure division titles. Sonny Gray went from Oakland to the Yankees before the non-waiver trade deadline, while Yu Darvish was shipped to the Dodgers by Texas.<\/p>\n

Gray\u2019s departure was expected after he was held out of Sunday\u2019s scheduled start. He is 6-5 with a 3.43 ERA this season and has been outstanding in his last six starts, going 4-2 with a 1.37 earned run average.<\/p>\n

The Athletics received shortstop-outfielder Jorge Mateo, pitcher James Kaprielian and outfielder Dustin Fowler from the Yanks. Mateo was one of New York\u2019s top prospects, and Fowler is out for the season after rupturing his patellar tendon in his right knee during the first inning of his major league debut on June 29.<\/p>\n

In addition, the Yankees also receive $1.5 million in international signing bonus allocation from the A\u2019s.<\/p>\n

The Rangers received three minor leaguers for Darvish, who is 6-9 with a 4.01 ERA in 22 starts this season. The four-time All-Star has struggled in his last eight starts, going 0-5 with a 5.81 ERA.<\/p>\n

The Dodgers sent second baseman\/outfielder Willie Calhoun, right-hander A.J. Alexy and infielder Brendon Davis to Texas.<\/p>\n

In other trade-deadline deals:<\/p>\n

\u2014 The Dodgers took care of a bullpen need by picking up former All-Star Tony Watson from the Pirates for minor league infielder Oneil Cruz and pitching prospect Angel German. Watson is 5-3 with a 3.66 ERA in 47 games this year, recording 10 saves before losing the closer\u2019s job in June.<\/p>\n

\u2014 The Red Sox have worked out a deal that brings reliever Addison Reed to Boston and sends three pitching prospects to the Mets. Reed had been the Mets\u2019 closer most of the season, going 1-2 with 19 saves and a 2.57 ERA.<\/p>\n

\u2014 The Cubs have added Detroit\u2019s Justin Wilson to their bullpen in a trade that also brings catcher Alex Avila to the defending champs. The Tigers got minor league infielders Jeimer Candelario and Isaac Paredes, along with a player to be named or cash consideration.<\/p>\n

\u2014 James Jeffress is back with the Brewers after being acquired from the Rangers for minor league pitcher Tayler Scott. Jeffress had 27 saves for the Brewers last year before being dealt.<\/p>\n

\u2014 The Indians have traded for reliever Joe Smith, who compiled a 3.28 ERA in 38 appearances for Toronto. The Blue Jays received a pair of minor leaguers.<\/p>\n

\u2014 The Diamondbacks have reacquired reliever David Hernandez from the Angels for minor league hurler Luis Madero. Hernandez pitched for Arizona from 2011 through 2015 and was 1-0 with a 2.23 ERA with 37 strikeouts in 36 1\/3 innings over 38 appearances for the Angels this year.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Arizona also grabbed infielder Adam Rosales from Oakland for minor league pitcher Jeferson Mejia. Rosales was batting .234 with four homers and 27 RBIs in 71 games for the A\u2019s this year. The move came after shortstop Ketel Marte was placed on the bereavement list following the death of his mother in a car accident.<\/p>\n

\u2014 The Astros added another starting pitcher by getting lefty Francisco Liriano from the Blue Jays for outfielder Nori Aoki and minor leaguer Teoscar Hernandez. The 33-year-old Liriano, is 6-5 with a 5.88 ERA in 18 starts for Toronto this season.<\/p>\n

\u2014 The Orioles held onto reliever Zach Britton and bolstered their injury-depleted infield by acquiring Tim Beckham from the Tampa Bay Rays for minor league pitcher Tobias Myers.<\/p>\n

\u2014 The Phillies have traded right-hander Joaquin Benoit and cash to the Pittsburgh Pirates for minor league right-hander Seth McGarry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
