Yankees Acquire Clippard From Diamondbacks

The New York Yankees selected Tyler Clippard in the ninth round of the 2003 draft.

After going to the Washington Nationals in 2008 and short stops with the Mets, Athletics and Diamondbacks, the Yankees have brought Clippard back, agreeing on a trade with Arizona on Sunday.

In exchange for Clippard, the Diamondbacks receive minor league starter Vicente Campos. In 20 starts through multiple minor league levels, the right-hander is 9-3 with a 3.20 ERA this year. 

Clippard is 2-3 with a 4.30 ERA in 37 2/3 innings this year. Clippard fills the bullpen hole created when the Yankees traded Andrew Miller to the Cleveland Indians.
