J.D. Davis was acquired by the Yankees from the Oakland Athletics along with cash on Sunday for minor league infielder Jordan Groshans as New York sought reinforcement after first baseman Anthony Rizzo broke a forearm and Giancarlo Stanton strained a hamstring.
Davis hit .232 with four homers and five RBIs in 135 plate appearances with the A's, who signed him to a $2.5 million contract in mid-March and designated him for assignment on Tuesday. Davis had defeated San Francisco in arbitration and was awarded a $6.9 million salary as part of a nonguaranteed contract, then was released by the Giants and given $1,112,903 in termination pay.
“Right-handed bat, so he can fit into a platoon situation,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said after Sunday's 3-1 loss to Atlanta. “Hopefully come here and give us a little spark.”
