The Pirates earlier had received minor league left-hander Stephen Tarpley in exchange for outfielder Travis Snider.

Brault, 22, was an 11th-round pick in the 2013 First-Year Player Draft out of Regis University in Denver. He went 9-8 with a 3.05 ERA in 22 games (21 starts) with low Single-A Delmarva last season and 2-0 with a 0.55 ERA in three starts at high Single-A Frederick.

Brault walked 28 and struck out 115 in 130 innings with the Shorebirds.

Baseball America rated Brault as the Orioles’ 18th-best prospect. He was targeted for Frederick’s rotation this year before being sent to the Pirates.

Snider currently projects as the Orioles’ starting right fielder, though manager Buck Showalter has other options, including Steve Pearce and Delmon Young.
