Orioles add Drew Stubbs, acquire and designate Kyle Lobstein for assignment
The Orioles today added pitching depth, acquiring left-hander Kyle Lobstein from the Pittsburgh Pirates for Triple-A reliever Zach Phillips.
Lobstein, who was designated for assignment by the Pirates on Tuesday, had a 3.96 ERA in 15 relief appearances for the Pirates. He has spent most of the year at Triple-A Indianapolis, where he shuttled between the rotation and bullpen with a 4.11 ERA in 19 appearances (six starts)
Left-hander Ashur Tolliver, who in the last week returned from a hamstring injury to rejoin Triple-A Norfolk, was designated for assignment, the team announced.
