The Pirates have acquired left-handed starter Dana Eveland in a trade with Toronto, sending minor-league reliever Ronald Uviedo to the Blue Jays.
Eveland, 26, has a 16-21 career record with a 5.66 ERA. For the season, he was 3-4 with a 6.45 ERA, with 21 strikeouts and 27 walks, much of that driven by three consecutive poor starts before being designated for assignment May 23. In those starts, he allowed 34 baserunners over 9 1/3 innings.
Eveland will immediately join the Pirates' rotation.
General manager Neal Huntington said Eveland "has shown the ability to be an effective major-league starting pitcher. He has an interesting four-pitch mix, and we feel this acquisition is a potential upgrade for our current rotation with the upside of years of control and improved production."
The Pirates' 40-man roster remains full.
