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.

After major struggles to begin the 2025 season, the White Sox traded Vaughn to the Brewers for starting pitcher Aaron Civale and cash considerations. Chicago hoped Civale could turn into a trade piece or help protect an otherwise young starting rotation from their career-high innings totals.

McDougal posted a 1.75 ERA in 25 2 ⁄ 3 innings in June, and he will wrap up July with a 1.77 ERA in 20 1 ⁄ 3 innings. After eight starts in Birmingham, McDougal has a 1.77 ERA, as he has turned up the hear since being promoted on June 18.
