The Milwaukee Brewers have traded right-hander Aaron Civale and cash to the Chicago White Sox for first baseman Andrew Vaughn.
The Brewers moved quickly after they announced they were removing Civale from their rotation. The pitcher said Thursday he wanted to remain a starter even if it meant leaving Milwaukee.
One day later, Civale was traded. The Brewers also are sending 807,000 to the White Sox as part of the deal.
"We're exploring opportunities for me to get back into a rotation, whether that's here or elsewhere," Civale said Thursday on his 30th birthday. "That type of decision is out of my hands. We're exploring the options to give me the chance to do what I do best, and that's to go out there and start."
Civale is 1-2 with a 4.91 ERA this season. He has allowed seven runs over 19 innings in four starts since returning from the injured list May 22 after dealing with a strained left hamstring.
