According to The Athletic, the Padres are only interested in trading him if they can improve their current major-league roster. But the Astros might have an excess of starters after Spencer Arighetti, J.P. France and Cristian Javier return from injuries as expected in August or September.

Right-hander Michael King (4-2, 2.59 ERA) hasn’t pitched since May 18 due to a shoulder injury. On top of that, fellow right-hander Dylan Cease (3-10, 4.79 ERA) is having one of the worst seasons of his career.

The New York Yankees' starting rotation has been without Gerrit Cole and Luis Gil all season. Gil is slated to return, but the team could use reinforcements as they look to turn things around.
