The Cleveland Indians have acquired Jay Bruce from the New York Mets for pitching prospect Ryder Ryan.

Cleveland will pick up the approximately $4.2 million that's left of Bruce's $13 million salary this season, a source confirmed.

Bruce gives the Indians a corner outfielder and bat to replace Michael Brantley, who went on the disabled list Monday with a sprained ankle. Lonnie Chisenhall has also been on the disabled list since early July with a strained calf.
