Giants trade Daulton Jefferies to Pirates, Mitch White to Brewers
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The San Francisco Giants acquired minor league outfielder Rodolfo Nolasco from the Pirates on Friday in a trade that sent right-hander Daulton Jefferies to Pittsburgh.
San Francisco also dealt right-hander Mitch White to the Milwaukee Brewers for cash.
The 28-year-old Jefferies worked back from a second Tommy John surgery this season and was 0-2 with a 17.36 ERA over two appearances with one start, allowing nine earned runs on 14 hits with a pair of home runs over 4 2/3 innings.
He missed all of last season following his second elbow reconstruction surgery on Sept. 9, 2022, and the process had Jefferies contemplating quitting baseball altogether. He was 1-0 with a 3.44 ERA in four outings with Triple-A Sacramento.
Nolasco was playing for Pittsburgh’s High-A Greensboro affiliate, batting .173 with two homers and 12 RBIs in 21 games.
