Selected 21st overall following his time with the Texas A&amp;M Aggie baseball team, he signed with the <a href=\"https:\/\/sportrelay.com\/mlb\/category\/braves\/\">Atlanta Braves<\/a>. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shewmake played with the Aggies from 2017 to 2019 as a standout shortstop. He earned SEC Freshman of the Year and All-American honors, aiding in his success in the draft.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since the start of 2025, Shewmake has been a part of four different organizations. He was designated for assignment by the <a href=\"https:\/\/sportrelay.com\/mlb\/category\/white-sox\/\">Chicago White Sox<\/a> and claimed by the <a href=\"https:\/\/sportrelay.com\/mlb\/category\/royals\">Kansas City Royals<\/a>. Shortly after, the Royals <\/span>designated him for assignment before the Yankees picked him up. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most recently, Shewmake was hitting .250 over 10 games with Triple-A Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/p\/penaje02.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=sportrelay.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-04-19_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Jeremy Pena<\/a> already on the injured list with a hamstring injury and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/search\/search.fcgi?pid=allen-006nic,allenni02,allenni01&amp;search=Nick+Allen&amp;utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=sportrelay.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-04-19_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Nick Allen<\/a> experiencing back spasms on Friday, should Allen join the IL, Shewmake could be an option to call up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Sanchez to the Yankees<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wilmy Sanchez came to the Astros in May of 2022 as an undrafted free agent. He is originally from the Dominican Republic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Among the Houston farmhands, the 22-year-old tied for second in saves. He was also third in appearances with 46 in 2025. However, his 2025 season was his first in Double-A and proved to be a challenge as he worked up a 6.05 ERA.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite that, throughout his time in the minors, Sanchez pitched to an 8-6 record with a 3.80 ERA overall.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Yankees and Astros Trade Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the Astros low on shortstops,
