Sources: Yankees acquiring SS Troy Tulowitzki to bolster infield

Veteran shortstop Troy Tulowitzki has reached an agreement on a deal with the New York Yankees, league sources tell ESPN.

Tulowitzki, who was released by the Blue Jays in December, will earn the league minimum with the Yankees while Toronto pays the remainder of his $20 million salary. Tulowitzki is expected to fill in at shortstop while Didi Gregorius recovers from Tommy John surgery.

Tulowitzki missed the entire 2017 season because of ankle surgery, after playing in just 66 games the previous year while dealing with both hamstring and ankle issues.
