After placing Clayton Kershaw on the disabled list, the Los Angeles Dodgers have acquired Bud Norris in a trade with the Atlanta Braves.

Norris last pitched on Sunday, tossing seven scoreless innings against the New York Mets. He is in line to start for the Dodgers on Friday against the Colorado Rockies, an appearance that Kershaw was slotted to make.

Kershaw received an epidural shot on his ailing lower back, leading to the DL stint.

"I think that he understands that's the best course of action," Dave Roberts said of Kershaw. "He's been our most valuable player. And when you lose a player to the disabled list like Clayton that you have counted on every fifth day for a start -- obviously that's out of all of our control.

"I know Clayton is very disappointed. But it's up to us to pick him up."

The Dodgers also received outfielder Dian Toscano, a player to be named later and cash considerations in the deal.

Los Angeles gave up minor-league pitchers Philip Pfeifer and Caleb Dirks.

The Tampa Bay Rays may be willing to trade Matt Moore and interest in the pitcher is believed to be building.

The Texas Rangers are "hot on Moore's trail," according to the report. Three or four other organizations are also pursuing Moore.

Moore struggled in his return from Tommy John surgery last season and he has a 5.04 ERA in 2016.

Jon Daniels says the Texas Rangers are focused more on getting healthy than pursuing a serious trade ahead of the August 1 deadline.

The Rangers currently have five pitchers on the disabled list -- Yu Darvish, Derek Holland and Colby Lewis, Keone Kela and Tanner Scheppers.

"We want to get our arms around where our guys are," Daniels said. "We want to know who will be back and what to expect from them. We're spending most our time on that."

The Rangers have a 10-game lead over the Houston Astros in the American League West.

Josh Reddick will be a free agent after the season and despite a recent report that contract negotiations with the Oakland Athletics are back on, the sides remain far apart.

Meanwhile, the San Francisco Giants are looking for help in the outfield, which is why the Athletics want Reddick in the lineup for this week's four-game series between the two clubs.

"On paper, that's a perfect match," said one scout who sees both clubs regularly. "It would make a lot of sense."

Reddick, 29, is hitting .322/.394/.466 in 165 plate appearances this season.

The Miami Marlins are known to be searching the market for a relief pitcher and have had internal discussions about Aroldis Chapman and Fernando Rodney.

The level of interest Miami has in Chapman and Rodney isn't yet known.

The Texas Rangers inquired with the Boston Red Sox about a trade for Steven Wright this past winter.

Wright, who had never started more than nine games, was out of options at that point but the Red Sox didn't budge.

"We asked about him this winter and they did not want to move him," Jon Daniels said.

Wright, who will turn 32 in August, has a 2.18 ERA and 84 strikeouts in 103 innings this season.

The Pittsburgh Pirates are struggling, but trading Andrew McCutchen isn't an option at this point.

"We hear the narrative," Neal Huntington said. "We're aware of the narrative. But it's not on our radar."

McCutchen, who will turn 30 in October, is hitting .243/.320/.423 this season.

The Atlanta Braves don't expect to trade Julio Teheran, according to general manager John Coppolella.

Coppolella addressed Teheran's future during a Twitter Q&A with fans on Friday.

Teheran is expected to attract trade interest as Major League Baseball's Aug. 1 non-waiver trade deadline approaches.

Chris Sale is accustomed to trade rumors, but this time around he's adamant about not wanting to leave the Chicago White Sox.

"I'm right where I want to be," Sale said. "I plan on being here forever. So I mean, I don't think they would trade me. I would hope not. I mean, at the end of the day, it's a business. I understand you got to do what you got to do, what's best for the team and what not.

"I have a hard time believing that I would be traded and I really don't want to (be)."

Sale leads the American League in wins (12), complete games (3) and innings (105). He's also under team control through 2019 and will make just $38 million from 2017-19.

The San Diego Padres have been "active" in trade talks, according to a report, but they aren't interested in discussing Wil Myers.

Myers, 25, will hit arbitration eligibility after the season. He is hitting .290/.336/.529 with a career-high 16 home runs in 301 plate appearances.
