Padres trade Ron Marinaccio to Pirates in exchange for future considerations

The San Diego Padres have traded right-handed pitcher Ron Marinaccio to the Pittsburgh Pirates for future considerations. This move follows Marinaccio's designation for assignment by the Padres to make room for Randy Vásquez, who was reinstated from the injured list. Marinaccio, previously with the New York Yankees, has struggled this season with a 4.79 ERA and a 1.45 WHIP through 47 innings. To create roster space for Marinaccio, the Pirates designated Dennis Santana for assignment. Marinaccio's recent history includes a three-game suspension after hitting Baltimore’s Gunnar Henderson with a pitch.
