Vinny Nittoli has signed a minor league deal with the Orioles after opting out of a minor league pact with the Brewers, where he posted a 3.86 ERA in Triple-A.

"Freddy means the world to our franchise and all of us. I would expect him to be a big part of this going down the stretch."

The Brewers have acquired outfielder Steward Berroa from the Dodgers in exchange for cash, as he was designated for assignment. Berroa has been placed on the minor league injured list due to right shoulder bursitis.

Espinal, a minor league righty, has been traded by the Royals to the Brewers, marking his second trade at just 19 years old.

The decision to option both Durbin and Black to the minors is a surprising one, as both had been in the conversation for playing time at third base.
