The Pittsburgh Pirates are acquiring relief pitcher Camilo Doval from the New York Yankees for prospects Luis Cruz and Omar Alfonzo, pending physicals. Doval has made 44 appearances this season, accumulating a 4.54 ERA. His addition comes as Pittsburgh looks to strengthen its struggling bullpen, which has been responsible for a significant number of team losses. This marks Doval's departure after a stint with the Yankees that included a 4.82 ERA in 22 games last season, and a move that reflects New York's shifting strategy at the trade deadline.
