MILWAUKEE - The Milwaukee Brewers have acquired right-handed pitcher Joshua Quezada from the New York Yankees in exchange for left-handed pitcher Clayton Andrews. The announcement was made by Senior Vice President and General Manager Matt Arnold.

Quezada, 19, was signed by the Yankees as a non-drafted free agent on Jan. 16, 2023. During his first professional season, he went 6-0 with a 3.69 ERA in 11 games (4 starts) in the Dominican Summer League. He held opponents to a .214 batting average with 48 strikeouts in 46.1 innings pitched. Quezada hails from La Paz Centro, Nicaragua.

Andrews was designated for assignment on Feb. 7 following the signing of right-handed pitcher Jakob Junis.
