Pirates acquire relief pitcher Camilo Doval from Yankees
The Pirates have made a trade to bolster their bullpen ahead of Monday’s trade deadline, acquiring relief pitcher Camilo Doval from the New York Yankees.
Doval is 3-1 in 44 appearances this season. He has one save, but has blown four saves in 2026.
In 2025, he saved 17 games, splitting time between Yankees and San Francisco Giants. Before last season, he was in the Giants Bullpen. He’s made 109 saves in the big leagues and has a career 3.53 ERA.
In exchange for Doval, the Pirates are sending the Yankees minor league catcher Omar Alfonzo and minor league outfielder Luis Cruz. Alfonzo was in AA Altona. Cruz was playing in the Dominican Summer League.
Doval will wear number 75 for the Pirates.
