on Wednesday, adding the veteran to a thin starting rotation in hopes of holding onto first place in the National League Central.While Civale has struggled since joining Tampa Bay, posting a 5.17 ERA over 27 starts, he adds a reliable starter to a Brewers team that has leaned on, who has split time as a starter and bulk-innings reliever following an opener. Civale is on pace to surpass his career-best innings total of 124.1, having thrown 87 innings with a 5.07 ERA this season.
Milwaukee, whose success in recent years has revolved around its starting pitching, owns a six-game lead in the NL Central due more to an offense that has scored the fifth-most runs in Major League Baseball. The Rays, who at 43-42 are three games back of Kansas City for the final American League wild-card slot, are readying for the return of left-handerThe Rays are expected to be busy leading up to the July 30 trade deadline, potentially adding players to join for a playoff push while still open to dealing away from positions of depth.
Barrios, 20, joins a Tampa Bay farm system already strong in the infield, with top 10 prospects Junior Caminero and Carson Williams. In 60 games at High-A this season, Barrios is hitting .317/.361/.423 with one home run, 34 RBIs and 16 stolen bases in 22 tries.
