MIAMI -- Zach Duke has bounced around during a 12-year major league career, and the St. Louis Cardinals became his seventh team Sunday. Even so, being traded at midseason is a new experience.Ill check that off the list of career achievements, said Duke, 33. There are not many more. Ive been released and designated for assignment and traded in the offseason. Now I add this one. About the only thing I have left after this will be retirement.St. Louis added depth to the back half of its bullpen by acquiring the veteran left-hander from the Chicago White Sox. The Cardinals gave up minor league outfielder Charlie Tilson in the trade announced before their game Sunday at Miami.Duke went 2-0 with a 2.63 ERA for the White Sox this year and leads the American League with 53 appearances.The one area we needed to address was the bullpen, Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak said. We were fortunate to get somebody of the caliber of Zach Duke. He will fit in ideally.Duke embraced the move to St. Louis.Its a great situation for me and my family, he said. Its about the closest team to our home base in Nashville, and a great organization. The Cardinals are top-notch all the way, so it should be a good thing.Duke is in the second year of a $15 million, three-year contract, which made him more appealing, Mozeliak said.I was not looking for a rental, Mozeliak said.Since 2014, Duke has appeared in 198 games, which ranks fourth in the majors. He made 169 career starts, all from 2005 to 2013.While the Cardinals are in the mix for an NL wild-card berth, the White Sox became sellers at the trade deadline after dropping below .500 in the AL Central. Manager Robin Ventura acknowledged the deal sends a signal to the clubhouse.Any time you get around the trade deadline and something like this happens, it affects guys differently, Ventura said. Theyre professional, theyll go out there and continue to play, but its definitely a tough day.Duke will join the Cardinals for the start of their next series Tuesday in Cincinnati. He adds depth to a bullpen undermined by the struggles of Trevor Rosenthal, who lost his job as closer and went on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday because of inflammation in his right shoulder.The 23-year-old Tilson was the Cardinals second-round pick in 2011 and is batting .282 this season for Triple-A Memphis. He has a .293 career minor league average in 471 games.Sometimes you have to make decisions with a steep cost, Mozeliak said. Charlie Tilson was someone we were very high on and thought he had some upside, but at some point you have to give up something to get something, and ultimately we feel like we have helped our big league club.---AP freelancer writer Brian Hall in Minneapolis contributed to this report.

CINCINNATI -- Reds catcher Devin Mesoraco had surgery on the right side of his hip Monday, the third major operation in little more than a year for the former All-Star.Mesoraco already was on the disabled list following surgery May 10 for a significant tear in his left shoulder. His latest surgery will prevent him from catching again until January, meaning he most likely wont be at full strength when spring training begins. The Reds think he could be ready for opening day, barring setbacks.The 28-year-old catcher had surgery on the other side of his hip last season, limiting him to 23 games. Cincinnati manager Bryan Price said theres no indication the hip problems would become a chronic issue.I havent been told anything about him being at risk, Price said. We certainly would like him to stay healthy and keep him on the field. Its always a crapshoot with any player. Hopefully, what hes doing is putting all this behind him so he can string together some healthy seasons.Dr. Timothy Kremchek, the teams medical director, said Mesoracos left hip has recovered nicely. He started having some problems with the right side of the hip during spring training, and doctors agreed that he would need surgery on it at some point as well. When he needed the shoulder surgery, doctors suggested that Mesoraco get the hip repaired as well.We had talked about when his shoulder was healed enough to be able to handle crutches, we would talk about addressing his right hip, Kremchek saiid.dddddddddddd. What we didnt want to do was for him to have problems in his right hip, say, the middle of next year or the end of next year.Kremchek said Mesoraco will have more range of motion after the latest hip surgery.I think this will give him a spring in his step, Kremchek said. Its going to make it a little easier for him to squat down and do things. So Im optimistic this is going to make him a better catcher and be less stressful on his body.The former first-round draft pick had one of the best seasons by a Reds catcher in 2014, hitting 25 homers and driving in 80 runs. He also made his first All-Star team that season.Before the start of the 2015 season, he got a four-year, $28 million through 2018. The contract pays him $4.9 million this year, $7.2 million in 2017, and $13 million in 2018. During the first two years of the deal, Mesoraco has played in 39 games and batted .158 with two doubles, one homer and three RBI.Hes the second Reds player to sign a big deal and then suffer serious injury. Right-handed starter Homer Bailey agreed to a six-year, $105 million deal before the start of the 2014 season. He needed Tommy John surgery in May 2015 and hasnt fully recovered. Bailey is on a minor league rehab assignment, and the Reds are hoping to get him back in August.---Follow Joe Kay on Twitter: http://twitter.com/apjoekay Cheap Authentic Jerseys Discount NFL Jerseys Wholesale NFL Camo Jerseys Cheap NFL Autographed Jerseys China Jerseys Wholesale Wholesale Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Store China Jerseys Wholesale Wholesale Throwback Jerseys Cheap Stitched Jerseys China NFL Hoodies Cheap Authentic Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys China Camo China NFL Jerseys Jerseys From China ' ' '
