Brewers Seek Pitching Help Before Trade Deadline

The Milwaukee Brewers are actively seeking to bolster their pitching staff as the July 30 trade deadline approaches. They are considering several options, including reliever Carlos Estévez from the Los Angeles Angels and starting pitchers Michael Lorenzen and Andrew Heaney from the Texas Rangers, as well as Chris Bassitt from the Toronto Blue Jays. While the Brewers have already added Dallas Keuchel and Aaron Civale, ongoing injuries necessitate further reinforcements. Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Phillies are prioritizing upgrades in their center field, targeting star outfielders like Luis Robert Jr., Jazz Chisholm, and Cody Bellinger. Lastly, the Houston Astros are considering a call-up for former top prospect Forrest Whitley, who has recently shown promise in Triple-A after overcoming injuries and past suspensions.
