ANAHEIM, Calif. _ With their already depleted outfield taking yet another hit Wednesday with the addition of Clint Frazier to the injured list, the Yankees traded for some much-needed outfield help Thursday, acquiring veteran Cameron Maybin from the Indians for cash considerations, the team announced.
The Yankees signed Maybin to a major league contract and selected him to the 25-man roster. To make room for Maybin on the 40-man roster, the Yankees transferred right-hander Luis Severino to the 60-day IL.
Maybin, 32, was in the minors with the Indians at Triple-A Columbus where he was hitting .216 with a .663 OPS.
