BALTIMORE (AP) -- The AL East-leading Orioles have acquired outfielder Alejandro De Aza in a trade with the Chicago White Sox.

De Aza, 30, hit .243 with five homers, 31 RBIs and 15 steals in 122 games with the White Sox this year. He made his major league debut with the Marlins in 2007 and is a .268 career hitter with 35 homers and 179 RBIs in seven seasons.
