MLB REPORT

ROYALS DEAL GORE TO YANKEES

Speedy outfielder Terrance Gore was traded to the New York Yankees by the Kansas City Royals for $100,000 on Wednesday.

The deal was announced before New York’s scheduled game against the Tampa Bay Rays was postponed due to a forecast of severe inclement weather. Gore was not added to the Yankees’ 40-man roster and will report to Class AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

The 5-7 Gore is one of the fastest players in the majors and could be called up when major league rosters expand in September. He gives the American League East leaders a potential pinch-runner deluxe in the late innings of critical games — perhaps even come playoff time in October.

A righthanded hitter, the 28-year-old Gore was designated for assignment by the rebuilding Royals last week. He batted .275 (14-for-51) with 13 stolen bases in 18 attempts over a career-high 37 games for Kansas City this year. He has played in 100 games over six big league seasons, going 15-for-67 (.224) with 40 steals in 49 tries.

Gore swiped four bases in five attempts during the 2014 and 2015 postseasons, doing his part to help the Royals win consecutive AL pennants and a World Series championship.

CHICAGO WHITE SOX

Rookie OF Eloy Jimenez was put on the 10-day injured list with an ulnar nerve contusion in his right arm. The move comes a day after Jimenez collided with outfielder Charlie Tilson in the first inning against Kansas City.

CLEVELAND INDIANS

The club says pitcher Corey Kluber threw a successful bullpen session at Progressive Field, the RHP’s first time throwing from a mound since fracturing his right forearm on May 1.

The two-time Cy Young Award winner remains on the 60-day IL and is several weeks away from potentially beginning a minor league rehab assignment.

KANSAS CITY ROYALS

The team placed SS Adalberto Mondesi on the 10-day injured list with a left shoulder injury. Mondesi injured his shoulder in the fifth inning of Tuesday’s game against the White Sox when he attempted to make a diving catch on the warning track in shallow left field.

PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES

The team placed veteran OF Jay Bruce on the 10-day injured list with a strained right oblique on Wednesday and recalled OF Nick Williams from Class AAA Lehigh Valley.

Also, closer Hector Neris was suspended for three games and fined an undisclosed fine by MLB for intentionally throwing a pitch in the area of the head of the Dodgers’ David Freese on Tuesday.
