The Yankees acquired rookie Scott Effross in a trade with the Chicago Cubs on Monday.
The rebuilding Cubs received minor league right-hander Hayden Wesneski in the deal. The 24-year-old Wesneski, a sixth-round selection in the 2019 amateur draft, is 6-7 with a 3.51 ERA in 19 starts for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
Wesneski spent part of last season with Double-A Somerset, where his pitching coach was Daniel Moskos, now an assistant pitching coach with the Cubs. The AL East-leading Yankees host the Seattle Mariners on Monday night. The trade deadline is Tuesday. The addition of the 28-year-old Effross gives manager Aaron Boone another option in front of All-Star closer Clay Holmes.
Effross is particularly tough on right-handed batters, holding them to a .159 batting average this year.© 2022 The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.Please enter email address to continue
