Angels deal outfielder Cameron Maybin to Astros

— -- The American League's co-leaders in stolen bases are both members of the Houston Astros after the team acquired outfielder Cameron Maybin from the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday, a source confirmed to ESPN's Buster Olney.

Maybin and Astros second baseman Jose Altuve are tied for the AL lead in stolen bases with 29 each. The total marks a career best for Maybin.

The Angels acquired outfielder Justin Upton in a trade with the Detroit Tigers on Thursday, making Maybin expendable.
