Sanchez, 22, has appeared in five games this season for Double-A Corpus Christi, posting a 1.29 ERA with eight strikeouts and a 0-0 record. In the prior season with Corpus Christi, he went 2-4 with a 6.05 ERA and 75 strikeouts.
The young right-hander was off to a strong start this season before the trade and will look to continue developing within the Yankees’ system.
Shewmake, 28, has not yet produced offensively at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season, with zero home runs, one RBI, and two doubles in 10 games.
Over his previous two MLB-affiliated seasons, Shewmake appeared in 29 games for the Chicago White Sox last year, tallying one homer, four RBIs, five stolen bases, and a .125 batting average. The year before, he played in two games for the Atlanta Braves, going 0-for-4.
The trade underscores the Yankees’ focus on bolstering their prospect depth as they continue to build their long-term roster.
