The Cleveland Indians placed outfielder Michael Brantley on the 15-day disabled list on Saturday due to right shoulder inflammation. The move is retroactive to May 10. Brantley, 28, begins his second trip on the disabled list in 2016 after beginning the season rehabbing his right shoulder following offseason surgery in November to repair a torn labrum. He has appeared in 11 games, batting .231 (9-for-39) with seven RBIs. To fill the roster spot, the Indians called up utility player Michael Martinez from Triple-A Columbus and moved catcher Roberto Perez (thumb surgery) to the 60-day DL.

The New York Yankees acquired right-handed pitcher J.R. Graham from the Minnesota Twins. The Yankees, who will send a player to be named later or cash considerations, optioned Graham to Double-A Trenton.

They placed right-hander Luis Severino (right triceps strain) on the 15-day disabled list, recalled right-hander Chad Green and right-hander Conor Mullee from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, and optioned catcher Gary Sanchez back to Triple-A.
To make room on the 40-man roster, the Yankees moved first baseman Greg Bird, right-hander Bryan Mitchell and outfielder Mason Williams to the 60-day disabled list.
