The Yankees did end up adding a pitcher at the trade deadline. Except he won’t be pitching in the Bronx anytime soon.
The Yankees acquired LHP Alfredo Garcia from the Colorado Rockies in exchange for RHP Joseph Harvey, the team announced just as the trade deadline was ending.
Garcia, 20, has pitched for Single-A Asheville and Boise this season. With the two teams, he’s combined for a 3-10 record and 6.00 ERA in 22 starts.
Harvey has made nine appearances for the Yankees this season, recording a 4.50 ERA.
