Reid Brignac - 3B - Yankees

CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports that the Yankees have acquired infielder Reid Brignac from the Rockies.

Brignac was designated for assignment on Thursday and has batted only .250/.294/.375 in 29 games this season. The 27-year-old will look to reestablish himself with the Yankees as a utility infielder.

Reid Brignac - 3B - Yankees

Rockies designated INF Reid Brignac for assignment.

Brignac batted only .250/.294/.375 with the Rox. It's possible the versatile former top prospect will attract some attention on waivers.

May 16 - 6:11 PM

Reid Brignac - 3B - Yankees

Reid Brignac has earned a spot as a utility infielder on the Rockies' Opening Day roster.

Brignac had himself a nice spring, hitting .310/.429/.483 with a homer and seven RBI. He's a plus defender with the ability to play five different positions, making him a valuable addition to the Rockies bench, but basically meaningless in most fantasy leagues.

Reid Brignac - 3B - Yankees

Reid Brignac is expected to win a utility job with the Rockies.

Brignac, who was acquired from the Rays last month, batted .310 with one homer this spring. Long gone are the days when he was a top prospect, but he's a good defender and is a worthy bench player.

Reid Brignac - 3B - Yankees

Reid Brignac had a huge day at the plate Friday, going 3-for-3 with a home run and four RBI in a 14-9 win over the Rangers.

Brignac delivered a pair of RBI singles and a two-run homer. He entered Friday's action with just three hits in 18 at-bats this spring. That he's out of options will help his case of making the Opening Day roster, but the Rockies could still decide to go in another direction with their bench.

Mar 22 - 8:07 PM

Reid Brignac - 3B - Yankees

Rockies acquired SS Reid Brignac from the Rays for a player to be named later and cash considerations.

Brignac was designated for assignment by Tampa Bay last week. The 27-year-old owns a weak .586 career OPS in the major leagues, but he is a pretty good defensive player and can handle multiple positions. He will serve as insurance this season behind Troy Tulowitzki.

Reid Brignac - 3B - Yankees

Darren Wolfson of 1500ESPN.com reports that the Padres have expressed interest in Reid Brignac.

Brignac has also been linked to the Twins and Astros after being designated for assignment earlier this week, though Wolfson doubts Minnesota's interest. The former top prospect owns a weak .227/.268/.317 career batting line in five major league seasons, but should resurface with another team as a utility infielder.

Reid Brignac - 3B - Yankees

CBS Sports' Jon Heyman hears that the Twins and Astros could have interest in Reid Brignac.

Brignac was designated for assignment by the Rays Tuesday but could be traded elsewhere soon. The former top prospect is versatile and has a pretty good glove, but he's a career .227/.268/.317 hitter and hasn't hit much the last few years in the minors, either.

Reid Brignac - 3B - Yankees

Rays designated SS Reid Brignac for assignment.

The Rays will hope to find a trade partner for Brignac, who has a good and versatile glove but owns a weak .227/.268/.317 career batting line in five major league seasons. He was out of minor league options.

Feb 5 - 5:05 PM

Reid Brignac - 3B - Yankees

Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times hears that there was "some chatter" last week about a possible Reid Brignac trade.

Brignac is out of options and doesn't look like a fit on the Rays' Opening Day roster, so he could either be dealt or exposed to waivers. The former top prospect has batted just .227/.268/.317 over parts of five seasons with the Rays and turned 27 last month.

Rays recalled INF Reid Brignac from Triple-A Durham

Brignac went just 2-for-17 (.118 batting-average) in his only stint in the majors this season. He's behind Elliot Johnson as the Rays' primary utility infielder.

Reid Brignac - 3B - Yankees

Rays optioned INF Reid Brignac to Triple-A Durham.

The move clears the way for the newly-claimed Brandon Allen on the active roster. Brignac went just 2-for-17 (.118) over his first eight games this season. Sean Rodriguez should continue to get the lion's share of starts at shortstop while Eliot Johnson will serve as his backup.

Reid Brignac - 3B - Yankees

Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times speculates that Reid Brignac and Stephen Vogt will likely be sent to Triple-A Durham on Friday.

Brandon Allen was claimed off waivers from the A's on Thursday and B.J. Upton (back) is expected to return from the disabled list Friday, so the Rays need to make a pair of moves. Brignac is just 2-for-17 (.118) so far this season while Vogt is hitless in 13 at-bats.

Reid Brignac - 3B - Yankees

Reid Brignac went 2-for-2 with a double and an RBI as the Rays beat the Twins 6-2 on Tuesday.

Brignac, who missed time with a foot injury last month, is hitting .333 with 30 at-bats for the spring. He figures to be the Rays' primary shortstop until B.J. Upton returns, at which point Ben Zobrist will move back to second base. The Rays will then have to decide whether they prefer Brignac or Sean Rodriguez at shortstop going forward.

Depth Charts

Batters
Pos	Role	Name
C	1	Francisco Cervelli D.L. Francisco Cervelli will have the stitches removed from his right hand Tuesday. Cervelli fractured his hand late last month when he was struck by a foul tip. His cast is expected to come off in three weeks while he's about five weeks away from baseball activities. Chris Stewart and Austin Romine will continue to split catching duties for now. May 7
	2	Chris Stewart Sidelined The New York Post confirms Chris Stewart (groin) will not be placed on the disabled list. Stewart injured himself when he slid into third base awkwardly during Thursday's game, but he's not expected to miss more than 2-3 days. An MRI on Friday ruled out structural damage and the Yankees are listing him as day-to-day. May 18
	3	Austin Romine
1B	1	Mark Teixeira D.L. Mark Teixeira (wrist) is aiming to return from the disabled list on May 30 or 31. "It's great -- I couldn't be happier with my rehab," Teixeira said. "I'm looking at the end of May, sometime around the 30th or 31st maybe, to get back out there playing with the Yankees. I'm feeling great." Teixeira has been taking batting practice in the cages but still needs to take live BP on the field. "I would say the next step would be some live BP; we're not there yet," manager Joe Girardi said. "Then maybe some sim games, hopefully, then some rehab games. That's the progression, but we're still in the BP phase." May 15
	2	Lyle Overbay
2B	1	Robinson Cano
	2	Alberto Gonzalez
SS	1	Derek Jeter D.L. Derek Jeter (ankle) is close to getting the walking boot on his left foot removed again. Jeter had a routine checkup recently and was told his left ankle is healing. Once the boot is removed, he'll be eased into baseball activities again. The future Hall of Famer won't be an option at shortstop for the Yankees until after the All-Star break. May 16
	2	Eduardo Nunez D.L. Yankees placed SS Eduardo Nunez on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 6, with a rib cage injury. Nunez recently resumed swinging a bat, but he's obviously still not feeling well enough to be playing. The Yankees will continue to roll with Jayson Nix at shortstop, with Alberto Gonzalez getting called up to provide infield depth. May 12
	3	Jayson Nix
	4	Reid Brignac
3B	1	Alex Rodriguez D.L. Alex Rodriguez (hip) hit off a tee and ran Wednesday in a 40-man workout at the Yankees' complex in Tampa. Rodriguez was cleared for baseball activities last weekend and is now easing into heavy workouts down in Florida. The veteran third baseman is not targeting a specific return date but should be available sometime around the All-Star break if everything goes according to plan. He is on his way back from January hip surgery. May 9
	2	Kevin Youkilis D.L. Yankees manager Joe Girardi said Kevin Youkilis (back) will take batting practice "pretty soon." Youkilis has hit off a tee and taken soft-toss and is nearing the next step. The Yankees haven't set a timetable for his return, but it's looking like he'll probably be back sometime in late May or early June. May 17

LF	1	Curtis Granderson

DH	1	Travis Hafner
Starting Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
S	1	CC Sabathia
	2	Hiroki Kuroda
	3	Andy Pettitte D.L. Yankees placed LHP Andy Pettitte on the 15-day disabled list with a strained trapezius muscle. Pettitte suffered the injury during Thursday's start against the Mariners. It's believed to be minor, but the Yankees don't want to take any chances with the 40-year-old southpaw. Vidal Nuno is slated to replace him on the active roster and will likely get a start or two. May 17
	4	Phil Hughes
	5	Ivan Nova D.L. Yankees manager Joe Girardi indicated that Ivan Nova (triceps, side) is slated to pitch Monday in Tampa. Nova, currently sidelined with triceps inflammation, experienced discomfort in his upper back while playing catch over the weekend. However, it apparently wasn't a major setback. The assumption is that he'll pitch in extended spring training on Monday, though there's nothing official on that yet. David Phelps will continue to fill his spot in the rotation for now. May 16
	6	David Phelps
	7	Michael Pineda D.L. Michael Pineda (shoulder) is scheduled to throw 50 pitches Friday, either in extended spring training or an intrasquad game. Yankees manager Joe Girardi didn't disclose any plans about a rehab assignment, but he expects Pineda to pitch in the majors at some point this summer. "We’ll continue to build him up," said Girardi. "Starters, as you know, take a lot longer than relievers because you have to get them to 100 pitches. For a kid that hasn’t pitched in a couple of years, that’s something you may want to see a couple of times to make sure he’s ready to go every fifth day." May 16
	8	Vidal Nuno
Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	Mariano Rivera
	2	David Robertson
	3	Boone Logan
	4	Joba Chamberlain D.L. Yankees manager Joe Girardi said Thursday that Joba Chamberlain (oblique) needs at least one more rehab appearance before coming off the disabled list. Chamberlain gave up two hits in a scoreless frame Tuesday night for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, but the Yankees think he needs more work before returning. The 27-year-old has been sidelined since late April with an oblique strain. May 16
	5	Shawn Kelley
	6	Adam Warren
	7	Cesar Cabral D.L. Cesar Cabral (elbow) threw a scoreless inning Wednesday in an extended spring training game. Cabral worked around a single by Delmon Young to complete the frame. The 24-year-old left-hander missed all of 2012 with a stress fracture in his elbow. It's not clear when he'll begin an official minor league rehab assignment. Apr 17
	8	Preston Claiborne
	9	Dellin Betances
