Brewers acquire RHP Quinn Priester from Red Sox as they seek boost for injury-riddled pitching staff
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Right-handed pitcher Quinn Priester went from Boston to Milwaukee in a trade Monday that sends the Red Sox outfield prospect Yophery Rodriguez, a competitive balance selection in the upcoming draft and a player to be named.
In a move announced later Monday, the Brewers got outfielder Daz Cameron from the Baltimore Orioles in exchange for left-handed pitcher Grant Wolfram.
The addition of Priester gives some immediate help to a Brewers pitching staff decimated by injuries. Left-hander Nestor Cortes went on the injured list Sunday with a flexor strain in his throwing elbow, leaving Freddy Peralta as the only healthy pitcher among those projected to be in Milwaukee’s five-man rotation this season.
