NEW YORK -- Jake Westbrook, hit hard in two starts for the New York Yankees this season, and minor league pitcher Zach Day were sent to the Cleveland Indians to complete the trade for David Justice, one of the players said Monday.

"I'm going to a very good organization. It gives me a new opportunity," Day said at the Yankees' complex in Tampa, Fla.

"I was kind of shocked. But the way things have been going, nothing surprises me. The Yankees are going after it," he said.

Day spoke with the Indians on Monday, and said he and Westbrook were going to the Cleveland organization.

The Yankees sent outfielder Ricky Ledee and two players to be named to Cleveland for Justice on June 29. Westbrook, on the disabled list for Triple-A Columbus, was not available for comment.

Two team sources familiar with the trade said Westbrook and Day were sent to the Indians.

The Yankees would not confirm the deal. The Indians, who played in the Hall of Fame exhibition game at Cooperstown, N.Y., were traveling to Toronto.

Westbrook, a 22-year-old right-hander, was 0-2 with a 13.50 ERA in three games, one of them in relief, for the Yankees.

Westbrook lasted only 1 2/3 innings against the Chicago White Sox in his major league debut June 17. Boston chased him after 2 2/3 innings in his other start June 22.

At Columbus, he was 5-7 with a 4.87 ERA. He was recently put on the disabled list with a strained left side.

The Yankees acquired Westbrook from Montreal last December in the deal for pitcher Hideki Irabu. New York had hopes that he could someday be part of the rotation -- he started the exhibition opener for the two-time World Series champions.

Day, also a 22-year-old right-hander, was 2-4 with a 4.19 ERA at Class A Tampa. He began the season at Class A Greensboro.

Day was the Yankees' fifth-round pick in the 1996 draft. This is his fifth season in pro ball.

The Indians were expected to assign Day to Double-A Akron.

"It's tough. I've played here four years. I know everybody in the organization. It probably won't sink in for a couple days," Day said.
