The San Diego Padres traded veteran righthander James Shields and cash to the Chicago White Sox for pitcher Erik Johnson and shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. on Saturday. The deal came three days after Padres executive chairman Ron Fowler criticized the team’s recent performances as being ‘‘embarrassing’’ and ‘‘pathetic,’’ and called out Shields for his poor start Tuesday at Seattle, when he allowed 10 runs in 2? innings. The Padres gave Shields, 34, a $75 million, four-year deal before the 2015 season. San Diego will cover $29 million of the $56 million remaining on Shields’s contract. This season, he’s 2-7 with a 4.28 ERA. Shields helped pitch the Rays into the 2008 World Series and the Royals into the 2014 Series. He made the AL All-Star team in 2011 . . . Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira was placed on the 15-day disabled list with an articular cartilage tear in his right knee. Manager Joe Girardi said Teixeira’s knee ‘‘locked up’’ on him during Friday’s game in Baltimore. An All-Star in 2015, Teixeira is batting just .180 with three homers and 12 RBIs. In addition to the knee problem — Teixeira said he was playing with it for weeks but hopes to avoid surgery — he’s also been hindered by a bulging disk in his neck. The Yankees selected the contract of infielder Chris Parmelee from Triple A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. New York recently lost Teixeira’s primary backup, Dustin Ackley, to season-ending shoulder surgery.
