Cody Asche’s time in the Royals organization was shored-lived.
Asche, the former Nebraska star, was traded to the Yankees on Wednesday for a player to be named later or cash.
Asche joined the Royals in December on a minor-league contract. He had spent four seasons with the Philadelphia Phillies, the team that drafted him, and hit .248 with 22 home runs in 2014 and 2015. He mostly played third base and later moved to left field.
