The Pirates, who won 15 of their last 19 games before the deadline, also traded for reliever Keone Kela from the Texas Rangers on Monday night. They have just one active pitcher who has made more than seven starts this season: Ryne Stanek, who averages fewer than two innings per start. The Orioles also sent second baseman Jonathan Schoop, an All-Star last season, to the Milwaukee Brewers for second baseman Jonathan Villar and two prospects. Schoop has no clear spot on the Brewers, who recently moved Travis Shaw to second to accommodate their new third baseman, Mike Moustakas. The Brewers acquired Moustakas in a trade with the Kansas City Royals on Friday, a day after trading with the Chicago White Sox for reliever Joakim Soria.
