Pirates acquire reliever Camilo Doval from Yankees at trade deadline

The Pittsburgh Pirates have acquired reliever Camilo Doval from the New York Yankees in exchange for minor leaguers Omar Alfonzo and Luis Cruz. The trade, announced on August 1, 2026, involves the Yankees covering part of Doval's salary. Doval, a former All-Star, has struggled with the Yankees, posting a 4.84 ERA last season and a 4.54 ERA this year. He had previously excelled with the San Francisco Giants, making the All-Star team in 2023. The Pirates hope a change of scenery will help Doval regain his form as they aim for playoff contention for the first time in 11 years.
