Yankees outfielder Austin Slater exited Monday's game against the Texas Rangers in the first inning with what the team called left hamstring tightness and will be heading to the IL.

Yesterday, the Pinstripes traded right-handed pitcher Gage Ziehl to the Chicago White Sox in exchange for Austin Slater, who is making his first appearance as a Yankee today against the Tampa Bay Rays for the final game of a four-game series. Slater will hit seventh in the lineup and play right field.
