NEW YORK (AP) The retooling New York Yankees have dealt right-hander Ivan Nova to the Pittsburgh Pirates for two players to be named.

A 29-year-old right-hander, Nova follows relievers Aroldis Chapman and Andrew Miller, and outfielder Carlos Beltran out of New York.

Nova is 7-6 with a 4.90 ERA in 15 starts and six relief appearances, his inconsistency among the reasons the Yankees have struggled for much of this season. He was 6-11 with a 5.07 ERA over 17 starts last year in his return from Tommy John surgery.

Nova is making $4.1 million this year and is eligible for free agency after the World Series.
