Arriving from Chicago, Slater was placed on the Yankees' active roster about an hour before Wednesday night's game against the Tampa Bay Rays, with lefty-hitting catcher-first baseman J.C. Escarra optioned to Class AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

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.

The Chicago White Sox traded outfielder Austin Slater to New York Yankees for minor-league pitcher Gage Ziehl on Wednesday.

The White Sox broke it open in the seventh. Lenyn Sosa hit a tiebreaking RBI single off Max Lazar (1-1), and Vargas made it 6-2 with a drive to left for his 13th homer. Quero tacked on a two-out shot off Seth Johnson for his third homer. Brandon Marsh homered for Philadelphia, and Nick Castellanos and Otto Kemp each hit an RBI single.

Miguel Vargas and Edgar Quero each hit a three-run homer in the seventh inning, and the Chicago White Sox beat the Philadelphia Phillies 9-3.
