Yankees’ Eovaldi out until 2018

New York Yankees starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi will miss the remainder of this season and all of next year because of two tears in his elbow that require surgery.

Eovaldi, a former Dodger acquired by the Yankees from Miami in 2014, was 9-8 with a 4.76 ERA this year. He has a torn flexor tendon, and a partially torn ulnar collateral ligament necessitating his second Tommy John surgery. He can be a free agent after next season.

Etc.

Atlanta traded former Angels shortstop Erick Aybar to Detroit for minor league catcher Kade Scivicque. Aybar, hitting .242, is making $8.5 million in the final year of his contract. . . .

Cleveland outfielder Michael Brantley had surgery on his right shoulder and is expected to be ready for spring training.
