The Pittsburgh Pirates shut down injured right-hander Gerrit Cole on Tuesday, one day removed from the ace's disastrous two-inning stint in his return from the disabled list.
Also on Tuesday, the Pirates acquired veteran left-hander Wade LeBlanc from the Seattle Mariners for cash considerations or a player to be named. Pittsburgh was not done as it selected left-hander Zach Phillips and catcher Jacob Stallings from Triple-A Indianapolis and placed catchers Chris Stewart and Elias Diaz on the 60-day disabled list with left knee injuries.
