The Los Angeles Dodgers acquired struggling slugger Joey Gallo from the New York Yankees on Tuesday in exchange for Double-A right-hander Clayton Beeter.

Gallo, 28, has struggled for the Yankees since he was acquired at last year's trade deadline from the Texas Rangers.

In 140 games for the Yankees, going back to last season, Gallo batted .159 with a .660 OPS and had 25 home runs with 46 RBIs. He had 12 of those home runs in 233 at-bats this season.

Gallo does fit the Dodgers' mold of working counts, earning 40 walks this season after he led the American League with 111 walks last season.

Beeter, 23, was the Dodgers' second-round pick in 2020 out of Texas Tech. He is 0-3 with a 5.75 ERA in 18 appearances (16 starts) at Double-A Tulsa this season. He is 0-9 with a 5.28 ERA in 46 minor league appearances (43 starts).
