White Sox signed RHP Andrew Brackman to a minor league contract.
A former first-round pick of the Yankees, Brackman had an ugly 6.71 ERA and 45/42 K/BB ratio in 63 innings last season between the Reds' Double- and Triple-A affiliates. There's little hope for a sudden turnaround, but the White Sox are willing to take the gamble. Jan 30 - 1:15 PM

Andrew Brackman - R - White Sox

Reds sent RHP Andrew Brackman outright to High-A Bakersfield.

Andrew Brackman - R - White Sox

Andrew Brackman - R - White Sox

Reds optioned RHP Andrew Brackman, OF Denis Phipps and IF Chris Valaika to Triple-A Louisville.

Brackman received a major league deal from the Reds this offseason and has a chance to return to the majors if he can reestablish himself in Louisville. The Reds roster size is now down to 33 players.

Andrew Brackman - R - White Sox

Reds signed RHP Andrew Brackman to a one-year contract.

The deal is worth the veteran major league minimum but also carries some performance-based incentives. Brackman, a former first-round pick of the Yankees, posted an ugly 6.00 ERA and 75/75 K/BB ratio across 96 innings last season at the Triple-A level. He's doubtful to ever meet the expectations people had for him.

Andrew Brackman - R - White Sox

Andrew Brackman has reached an agreement on a major-league deal with the Reds worth the veteran minimum plus incentives, reports Jon Heyman of SI.com.

The Reds lost Dontrelle Willis earlier in the day and found a fungible arm to replace him. Brackman, a 25-year-old former first-round pick, did well to find a major league deal. The right-hander registered a disappointing 6.00 ERA and 75/75 K/BB ratio in 96 innings this past season at the Triple-A level. Once considered one of the Yankees' most promising pitching prospects, he will have no fantasy value as a long man in Cincinnati's bullpen.

Yankees declined RHP Andrew Brackman's option for 2012.

Brackman, a 25-year-old former first-round pick, is now free to sign with any team. The right-hander registered a disappointing 6.00 ERA and 75/75 K/BB ratio in 96 innings this season at the Triple-A level.

Andrew Brackman - R - White Sox

Yankees recalled RHP Andrew Brackman from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Once considered one of the Yankees' most promising pitching prospects, Brackman posted an ugly 6.00 ERA and 75/75 K/BB ratio over 96 innings in 33 starts at the Triple-A level this season. Needless to say, he is unlikely to get much work in September.

Andrew Brackman - R - White Sox

Yankees GM Brian Cashman said Tuesday that Andrew Brackman is not likely to be promoted this year.

Brackman was given a crack at one of the Yankees' open rotation spots this spring, but he failed in that attempt and has posted a 6.92 ERA in 12 appearances so far at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The 25-year-old badly needs to put together a better second half.

Andrew Brackman - R - White Sox

Yankees optioned RHP Andrew Brackman, OF Kevin Russo, INF Brandon Laird and OF Melky Mesa to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre; LHP Steve Garrison and RHP Ryan Pope to Double-A Trenton.

Brackman was a fringe candidate for one of the two openings in the Yankees' starting rotation earlier this spring, but a groin issue put those plans on hold. He'll begin the year at Triple-A and act as insurance if Ivan Nova, Freddy Garcia or Bartolo Colon slips up.

Andrew Brackman - R - White Sox

Yankees manager Joe Girardi said Monday that Andrew Brackman is out of the mix for a rotation spot.

Pretty much what we expected. Brackman probably didn't have much of a chance in the first place, but his recent groin injury makes the decision easier. That being said, the 25-year-old right-hander is feeling well enough that he could make his spring debut Tuesday against the Braves.

Andrew Brackman - R - White Sox

Andrew Brackman (groin) will toss one more simulated game before appearing in his first spring training game.

Brackman threw 30 pitches in a bullpen session Saturday and then 25 more to Austin Krum and Brandon Laird without pain. The 25-year-old is ostensibly competing for a rotation spot but will almost assuredly begin the year in the minors.

Andrew Brackman (groin) threw 20 pitches off a mound Tuesday morning in Yankees camp.

Yankees pitching coach Larry Rothschild watched the throwing session and told reporters that the youngster looked "fine." Brackman is expected to throw off a mound again on Thursday. He should be participating in spring games by next week, or maybe even by this weekend.

Andrew Brackman - R - White Sox

Andrew Brackman has been shut down for a couple of days due to tightness and discomfort in his groin.

It sounds like a precautionary measure, designed to keep Brackman out of the first run of exhibition games. He is still in the hunt for a rotation spot and will throw a bullpen session Tuesday to test his minor groin injury. "It's not going to hurt me," the 25-year-old said Friday.
