The Cardinals have struck their first deal of the trade deadline.
The club announced Monday on Twitter they have acquired left-handed reliever Zac Rosscup from the Dodgers in exchange for cash considerations.
Rosscup has already pitched for the Dodgers, Blue Jays and Mariners this season, to the tune of a 5.00 ERA in 18 innings.
A six year veteran, Rosscup also spent time with the Cubs and holds a career 5.16 ERA.
The Cardinals said Rosscup will be assigned to the AAA Memphis roster.
