The Milwaukee Brewers added catching depth Sunday, acquiring David Freitas from the Seattle Mariners in exchange for minor league right-hander Sal Biasi.
Freitas, who appeared in one game with the Mariners this season, has 43 games of major league experience, batting .214 with one home run and eight RBIs. He was assigned to Triple-A San Antonio.
Freitas, 30, will take the 40-man roster spot left vacant when the Brewers transferred right-hander Corey Knebel (elbow) to the 60-day injured list.
Biasi, an 11th-round draft pick by the Kansas City Royals in 2017, is now with his third organization after being traded from the Royals to the Brewers last season. He is 8-5 in 49 minor league appearances (eight starts), with a 3.26 ERA, having never pitched above the Class A level.
