The New York Yankees made an early push to aid their roster for a playoff run Tuesday night, acquiring infielder Todd Frazier and relievers David Robertson and Tommy Kahnle from the Chicago White Sox for reliever Tyler Clippard and three prospects. The Yankees currently hold the second American League wild-card spot and are close to the East Division-leading Boston Red Sox. “It should tell them, ‘Hey, we’re in this,’ and we need to continue to play and play hard and play better than we’ve done,” Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. Along with Clippard, the White Sox got left-handed pitcher Ian Clarkin and outfielders Blake Rutherford and Tito Polo. The Cincinnati Reds put right-hander Scott Feldman on the 10-day disabled list because of right knee inflammation.
