The Minnesota Twins acquired right-handed pitcher Trevor Richards from the Toronto Blue Jays in exchange for minor league infielder Jay Harry.

Richards, 31, is 2-1 with a 4.64 ERA and 49 strikeouts in 45 games (two starts) this season.

He is 24-27 with a 4.51 ERA in 280 career games (61 starts) with the Miami Marlins (2018-19), Tampa Bay Rays (2019-20), Milwaukee Brewers (2021) and Blue Jays.

Richards has appeared in 163 games since the start of 2022, which ranks 12th most among American League pitchers, according to the Twins.

Harry, 22, was drafted by the Twins in the sixth round of the 2023 First-Year Player Draft after a career at Penn State and has played in parts of two minor league seasons for the Twins.

In a corresponding move on the 26-player roster, the Twins designated right-handed pitcher Josh Staumont for release or assignment. Staumont, 30, was 1-0 with a 3.70 ERA in 25 games, all in relief, this season for the Twins.
