Following the All-Star game, the Houston Astros traded right-handed pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. and minor-leaguer Colton Gordon to the Milwaukee Brewers. McCullers, a former All-Star with a 2-3 record and 6.86 ERA this season, is recovering from a shoulder injury and the Astros are absorbing his remaining $17 million salary. The Brewers seek to bolster their rotation after injuries to key pitchers, including Brandon Woodruff and Kyle Harrison.
