Astros acquired INF Braden Shewmake from the Yankees for RHP Wilmy Sanchez.

Shewmake, 28, was off to a slow start at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, slashing .250/.314/.313 with zero homers, one RBI and one stolen base in his first 36 plate appearances. A glove-first infielder, Shewmake will add depth at the Triple-A level for the Astros.
