The Yankees have acquired outfielder Austin Slater from the White Sox, as New York continues to bolster a roster currently without superstar outfielder Aaron Judge.

Austin Slater is heading to the New York Yankees. The Yankees acquired the veteran outfielder from the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday in exchange for minor league pitching prospect Gage Ziehl. The Yankees have a pressing need to bolster their outfield ranks with star Aaron Judge out indefinitely while dealing with a flexor strain in his right elbow.

Cubs rookie Cade Horton has been inconsistent, but he has fanned 4+ batters in five of his last seven starts. He'll face a White Sox lineup that is 29th in the majors in OPS (.660) and 24th in strikeout rate (23.2%).
