Giants Reclaim Doval Off Waivers in Low-Risk 2027 Bet

The San Francisco Giants claimed right-hander Camilo Doval off waivers from the Pittsburgh Pirates on September 24, 2026, reuniting with their former closer 14 months after trading him. Doval, 29, was designated for assignment by Pittsburgh to save approximately $98,000 in salary. San Francisco placed right-hander Blade Tidwell on the 60-day injured list to open a 40-man roster spot. Although the Giants are currently 65-94 and out of contention, the move is viewed as a low-cost acquisition for 2027 planning, given Doval's past success in San Francisco and his current control issues.

Yankees ship Doval to Pirates, clearing bullpen headache before deadline

The Yankees traded right-handed reliever Camilo Doval to the Pittsburgh Pirates for two prospects, Omar Alfonzo and Luis Cruz, with the Pirates covering $750K of Doval’s remaining salary and the Yankees taking on $1.25M. Doval has a 4.63 ERA, 1.74 WHIP and -1.1 WAR over 66 appearances this season, and the move clears a bullpen headache for New York as they pursue upgrades before the August 3 deadline. The Pirates, already dealing with bullpen issues, hope the swap provides relief and sets a higher market price for relievers going forward.

Pirates bank on Doval’s upside as Yankees cash out in deadline swap

With the 2026 MLB trade deadline looming, the Pirates acquired reliever Camilo Doval from the Yankees for cash and two lower-ranked prospects (Omar Alfonzo and Luis Cruz), hoping his high-velocity, ground-ball-heavy profile can stabilize the bullpen; the Yankees moved on from a disappointing stint by getting salary relief and two prospects, while paying part of Doval’s 2026 salary. Analysts grade the swap as an A for Pittsburgh due to upside and cost, and a C for New York for trading a flawed asset for two lower-ceiling prospects while covering much of the salary.

Pirates land Camilo Doval from Yankees in cash-inclusive swap for two prospects

The Pittsburgh Pirates acquired right-handed reliever Camilo Doval from the New York Yankees for two minor-league prospects, catcher Omar Alfonzo and outfielder Luis Cruz, plus about $1 million in cash. Hunter Stratton was designated for assignment to make roster space. Doval, 29, has a 2026 salary of $6.1 million and is arbitration-eligible in 2027 before hitting free agency in 2028; this season he has a 4.54 ERA over 44 appearances with 39 strikeouts, and he brings extensive high-leverage experience and 109 career saves to bolster Pittsburgh’s bullpen.

Pirates’ O’Hearn sidelined 6–8 weeks with quad strain

Pirates place Ryan O’Hearn on the 10-day IL with a left quad strain and he expects to miss six to eight weeks, a major blow as Pittsburgh battles for a Wild Card. O’Hearn has been a key middle-of-the-order bat (/.270, 17 HR) across 1B/RF/DH, and his absence complicates a lineup already thin with injuries. The Pirates also acquired Camilo Doval to bolster the bullpen; Rafael Flores Jr. was recalled to take O’Hearn’s roster spot, and Isaac Mattson was recalled while Antwone Kelly was optioned. With Spencer Horwitz, Oneil Cruz, and Konnor Griffin also sidelined (Cruz expected back in early August, Griffin in early September), Pittsburgh will lean on reinforcements as Esmerlyn Valdez continues to drive offense.

Pirates land Doval in deadline swap with Yankees

The Pittsburgh Pirates acquired right-hander Camilo Doval from the New York Yankees, in a trade that sends two prospects to New York while the Yankees receive catcher Omar Alfonzo and outfielder Luis Cruz. Doval, a 2023 All-Star known for his power arm and ground-ball tendency, has struggled at Yankee Stadium this season but could bolster Pittsburgh’s late-inning options. He is under team control through 2027 and is earning $6.1 million in 2026, with the Pirates taking on roughly $750,000 of the remaining salary and the Yankees contributing about $1.086 million to facilitate the deal.

Giants Reassign Camilo Doval as Closer in Bullpen Shuffle

The San Francisco Giants are returning Camilo Doval to the closer role after a strong start to the season, replacing Ryan Walker, who will now serve as a setup man. Doval has been impressive with a 1.16 ERA over 23 1/3 innings and an ongoing scoreless streak, rebounding from a difficult second half last season. The team’s patience with Doval appears to be paying off as he aims for another All-Star selection.
