NEW YORK (AP) The Latest on Major League Baseball's deadline Monday for trades where players do not first have to pass through waivers (all times EDT):

1:49 p.m.

Two people with knowledge of the trade say the Oakland Athletics have traded right fielder Josh Reddick and left-hander Rich Hill to the Los Angeles Dodgers for a trio of right-handers.

The A's receive minor leaguers Jharel Cotton and Grant Holmes, along with Frankie Montas - who made seven appearances with the White Sox last year - in the deal. Both people spoke on condition of anonymity to The Associated Press on Monday because the trade had yet to be formally announced by either club.

Hill, who signed a $6 million, one-year contract with Oakland during the offseason, is on the disabled list with a pesky blister on the middle finger of his throwing hand that hasn't healed. He had been scheduled to pitch Sunday in Cleveland before the DL stint.

The Boston Red Sox have acquired left-handed reliever Fernando Abad from the Minnesota Twins for minor-league pitcher Pat Light.

The deal was first announced Monday before the non-waiver trade deadline, giving the Red Sox another veteran for the bullpen in their pursuit of Baltimore and Toronto in the AL East race.

Abad posted a 2.65 ERA in 39 appearances for the Twins, making $1.25 million this year. He'll be eligible for free agency after the 2017 season. The 30-year-old Abad has held opponents to a .220 batting average this year. He came up with Houston and also pitched for Washington and Oakland.

The right-handed Light has a 2.32 ERA in 31 innings for Triple-A Pawtucket.
