The Boston Red Sox acquired right-hander Quinn Priester from the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday, sources told ESPN, adding depth to a sputtering pitching staff as they battle for a wild card spot.

The Pirates received prospect Nick Yorke in the exchange of former first-round picks.

Priester, who turns 24 in September, has a 5.84 ERA in 10 games (six starts) this season. He had moved to Pittsburgh's bullpen this month, making his last three appearances as a reliever.

The 18th pick in the 2019 draft and a former top-100 prospect -- Kiley McDaniel ranked Priester No.
