The Padres acquired Stratton from the Pirates on Monday in exchange for right-hander Andrew Moore.

Aug 3Rotowire

Stratton was designated for assignment a couple days ago by Pittsburgh, but the Padres were able to find a spot for him on their 40-man roster. Stratton, a 29-year-old righty, already went through this process earlier in the season when Atlanta DFA'd him, and he was then dealt to Pittsburgh for catcher Joey Bart. He's logged 32.2 innings in the minors and 3.1 innings in the majors this season.

The Pirates designated Stratton for assignment Saturday, Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports.

Stratton will give up his place on Pittsburgh's 40-man roster to make room for Camilo Doval, who was acquired in a trade with the Yankees on Saturday. Stratton has given up two runs in 3.1 big-league innings this season but hasn't yet allowed a run through eight frames at Triple-A Indianapolis.

The Pirates optioned Stratton to Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday.

The Pirates are in need of bullpen reinforcements, and Stratton had pitched two of the past three days. Thomas Harrington and Antwone Kelly are being called up to supplement the club's relief corps.

Stratton was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Stratton has struck out seven over 5.1 scoreless innings at Triple-A since the Pirates acquired him from Atlanta on June 18. Evan Sisk (elbow inflammation) was placed on the injured list in a corresponding move.

The Pirates acquired Stratton from Atlanta on Thursday in exchange for Joey Bart.

Jun 19Rotowire

Atlanta designated Stratton for assignment Wednesday and quickly found a trade partner for the 29-year-old right-hander. Stratton was originally a Pirates draft pick in 2017 and spent the better part of nine seasons with the organization before he was dealt to Atlanta last summer. Across 60 career big-league appearances, Stratton owns a 3.75 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 60:17 K:BB across 69.2 innings, though he'll initially report to Triple-A Indianapolis.
