Yankees Acquire Wilmy Sanchez in Trade with Astros

The New York Yankees acquired minor league right-handed pitcher Wilmy Sanchez from the Houston Astros. The deal involved the Yankees sending infielder Braden Shewmake to Houston in exchange for Sanchez. The trade was finalized prior to Sunday's game against the Kansas City Royals, as the Yankees sought to move an infielder who lacked a clear path to playing time in the Bronx.
