The Cleveland Indians have acquired a minor league pitcher and infielder from the Yankees, completing the July 31 trade that sent reliever Kerry Wood to the Yankees.
The Indians got right-hander Andrew Shive and infielder Matt Cusick on Thursday. Shive, 24, went 1-2 with a 4.56 ERA in 16 Single-A relief outings, one season after undergoing reconstructive right elbow surgery.
Cusick, 24, split last season between Double-A Trenton and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He batted a combined .243 with three homers and 35 RBIs in 88 games.
In the deal, the Yankees paid $1.5 million of the $3.6 million remaining on Wood’s $10.5 million salary for 2010. His contract includes an $11 million team option for 2011.
