The New York Yankees traded workhorse reliever Scott Proctor to the Los Angeles Dodgers for infielder Wilson Betemit on Tuesday in a deal that could add some punch to their limited bench. Betemit hit .231 with 10 homers and 26 RBIs with Los Angeles.
The 25-year-old switch-hitter also can play shortstop and second base, and the Yankees said they may take a look at him at first as well.
