OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Big left-hander Madison Bumgarner is staying put with the San Francisco Giants, who instead determined their bullpen depth provided them the best place to make trades before Wednesday's deadline.Milwaukee acquired left-hander Drew Pomeranz and righty Ray Black from San Francisco for infield prospect Mauricio Dubon."We are pleased to add a veteran presence in Drew Pomeranz and a high-velocity arm in Ray Black to the organization," Brewers president of baseball operations and general manager David Stearns said.Until the Giants recently began winning, there had been thoughts Bumgarner — the 2014 World Series MVP — would surely be on the trading block, but the free-agent-to-be isn't going anywhere for now as San Francisco (54-53) tries to contend in manager Bruce Bochy's final season before retirement.Bumgarner refused to get wrapped up in the speculation about whether he would be gone, calling it "just noise."

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Milwaukee has acquired left-hander Drew Pomeranz and righty Ray Black from the San Francisco Giants for infield prospect Mauricio Dubon.Also Wednesday, San Francisco obtained second baseman Scooter Gennett from the Reds for a player to be named. Cincinnati will send cash to the Giants to cover part of Gennett's $9,775,000 salary.Until the Giants recently began winning, there had been speculation for months that left-handed ace Madison Bumgarner — the 2014 World Series MVP — would be on the trading block, but he is staying put as San Francisco (54-53) tries to contend in manager Bruce Bochy's final season before retirement.The Brewers were looking to add pitching depth given a decision was expected Tuesday on whether left-hander Gio Gonzalez would need a stint on the injured list after he left his start last Friday against the Cubs with tightness in his pitching shoulder. Pomeranz can work as a starter or reliever.Milwaukee acquired right-hander Jordan Lyles from the Pirates on Monday to boost the rotation. Lyles traveled to the Bay Area on Tuesday and was set to start Wednesday night's interleague game at Oakland. The Brewers lost the series opener 3-2 in 10 innings.Lyles was a reliever for the NL Central champion Brewers late last year, going 1-0 with a 3.31 ERA in 11 appearances. He had a 9.58 ERA in eight starts since the end of May, leaving him 5-7 overall with a 5.36 ERA.___More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports

PHOENIX (AP) — All those swings, all those at-bats are paying off now for Keston Hiura.The Milwaukee Brewers prospect who began working with a hitting coach when he was 9 connected for his first spring training home run on Friday, a two-run drive off veteran big leaguer Ricky Nolasco of Arizona."He's a good hitter and took a breaking ball right there, first pitch breaking ball, and jumped on it," Brewers manager Craig Counsell said.Hiura was undrafted out of high school, but he kept hitting at the UC Irvine, batting .442 his junior year. That got the Brewers' attention, and he was the first round draft pick in 2017."College was, by far, helpful, and not only on the baseball field but off the field as well, learning about myself, learning about life," the 22-year-old infielder said.Brewers infielder Mauricio Dubon heard about Hiura's collegiate exploits from his father, who saw some UC Irvine games."He can hit, oh my goodness," Dubon said. "My dad told me before he came into pro ball that... [More]

MILWAUKEE (AP) — The Milwaukee Brewers have selected the contract of utility player Nick Franklin from Double-A Biloxi, sending infielder Eric Sogard to Triple-A Colorado Springs.Milwaukee also transferred Stephen Vogt to the 60-day disabled list after the catcher suffered a setback in his comeback from a right shoulder injury.But the bullpen could get All-Star closer Corey Knebel back from a left hamstring injury. He has been sidelined since early April.Manager Craig Counsell said that Knebel could be activated in the next few days, strengthening what is already one of the league's best bullpens. The Brewers are second in the majors with a 2.59 bullpen ERA."He passed everything at a pretty good rate and did everything in a timely manner, and really probably a little ahead of schedule," Counsell said about Knebel's rehab. "So it's good to go and it'll be great to get him back."Franklin was in the starting lineup at second base on Tuesday against the Cleveland Indians. The switch-hitter... [More]
