Yankees signed OF Thomas Neal to a minor league contract.

He'll presumably receive a spring training invite. Neal, a right-handed hitter, was released by the Indians earlier this month after hitting .314/.400/.467 with 12 homers and a .867 OPS in 117 games at the Triple-A level last season. Even if he doesn't win a roster spot, he'll be useful depth in the organization. Jan 23 - 12:14 PM

Thomas Neal - OF - Yankees

Indians released OF Thomas Neal.

Neal was designated for assignment last week and is now eligible for free agency. He batted .314/.400/.467 with the Indians' Double-A affiliate this past season and should have no trouble finding a minor league deal if he decides to sign with another organization.

Jan 12 - 10:05 AM

Thomas Neal - OF - Yankees

The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the newly signed Nick Swisher. Neal batted .314/.400/.467 this past season at the Double-A level.

Jan 3 - 7:06 PM

Thomas Neal - OF - Yankees

Indians recalled OF Thomas Neal from Double-A Akron.

Neal, 24, has spent the entire year in Double-A and will provide outfield depth. He figures to get most of his at-bats against left-handed pitching.

Sat, Sep 1, 2012 10:28:00 AM

Thomas Neal - OF - Yankees

Indians sent OF Thomas Neal outright to Double-A Akron.

Thomas Neal - OF - Yankees

Thomas Neal - OF - Yankees

Indians acquired OF Thomas Neal from the Giants for INF Orlando Cabrera.

Neal, 23, has batted .295/.351/.409 with two homers, seven stolen bases and 25 RBI in 60 games this season at Triple-A Fresno. He slugged 12 homers last year and 22 homers in 2009. Not a bad haul for the aging O-Cabs.

Sat, Jul 30, 2011 11:04:00 PM

Thomas Neal - OF - Yankees

Giants purchased the contract of OF Thomas Neal from Double-A Richmond.

Neal, 23, hit .291/.359/.440 with 12 homers, 69 RBI and 40 doubles in 525 at-bats at the Double-A level this past season. While the drop in home runs is something to keep an eye on, his home ballpark in Richmond tends to favor pitchers.

Thomas Neal - OF - Yankees

Thomas Neal is feeling fine after being plunked in the helmet with a pitch on Wednesday.

Neal has a bump on his head, but passed all concussion tests. Even better, he could take batting practice as soon as today. The 22-year-old outfielder hit .337/.431/.579 with 22 home runs and 90 RBI at High-A San Jose last season. He's one of the organization's most promising position players.

Thomas Neal - OF - Yankees

Giants prospect Thomas Neal was laughing and alert in the clubhouse Wednesday, soon after being plunked in the head with a pitch.

Good news for everyone involved. Neal, a 22-year-old outfielder, hit .337/.431/.579 with 22 home runs and 90 RBI at High-A San Jose last season and is likely to climb north through the organization this year.

Thomas Neal - OF - Yankees

Giants prospect Thomas Neal left Wednesday's game against the Mariners in the sixth inning after being plunked in the head by right-hander Ricky Orta.

Scary. Fortunately, Neal never went down and walked off the field under his own power. The 22-year-old outfielder batted .337/.431/.579 with 22 homers and 90 RBI with High-A San Jose last season. He was recently ranked as the organization's No. 4 prospect by Baseball America.

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
	3	Austin Romine
1B	1	Mark Teixeira D.L. Mark Teixeira (wrist) expects to play rehab games with Double-A Trenton next Wednesday and Thursday. Teixeira has participated in simulated games this week and will test himself in extended spring training on Saturday, Monday and Tuesday. He'll be reevaluated after his two rehab games with Trenton, but there's a chance that he could be activated from the disabled list late next week if all goes well. Teixeira has been sidelined since early March with a torn tendon sheath in his wrist. May 24
	2	Lyle Overbay
2B	1	Robinson Cano
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. Eduardo Nunez (rib cage) took batting practice Wednesday. It's the first time he's done so since landing on the DL, as he had been limited to hitting off a tee and taking soft-toss. When Nunez will be ready to return to game action isn't known, but it shouldn't be too far off. May 22
	3	Jayson Nix
	4	Reid Brignac
3B	1	Alex Rodriguez D.L. Alex Rodriguez (hip) fielded grounders and took 25 swings in an indoor batting cage Monday at the Yankees' minor league complex in Tampa, Florida. Kicking off his third week of on-field activities following hip surgery, Rodriguez also ran from pole to pole near the warning track four times. "Not bad," said Rodriguez. It's not clear when he'll begin playing in games, but the Yankees hope to have him back around midseason. May 20
	2	Kevin Youkilis D.L. Kevin Youkilis (back) will play in an extended spring training game Saturday. Mark Teixeira is also slated to play as he works his way back from a wrist injury. Youkilis has been sidelined for nearly a month with a lumbar spine strain, but he could rejoin the Yankees late next week if he can avoid setbacks. May 24
	3	David Adams
LF	1	Curtis Granderson D.L. Yankees placed OF Curtis Granderson on the 15-day disabled list with a fractured fifth metacarpal of his left hand. Granderson suffered the injury when he was hit by a pitch in the fifth inning of Friday night’s game. It's a troubling development for the Yankees, who will now be forced to give extended playing time to Ichiro Suzuki and Brennan Boesch. Granderson is expected to miss a minimum of four weeks. May 25
	2	Vernon Wells
CF	1	Brett Gardner
RF	1	Ichiro Suzuki
	2	Brennan Boesch
	3	Ben Francisco
DH	1	Travis Hafner
Starting Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
S	1	CC Sabathia
	2	Hiroki Kuroda Sidelined Yankees manager Joe Girardi said he would be "shocked" if Hiroki Kuroda (calf) was unable to make his next start. Kuroda's calf tightened up on him an inning after he was hit with a comebacker Wednesday, forcing him to leave the game. But he'll be fine. The right-hander is scheduled to face the Mets early next week. May 22
	3	Andy Pettitte D.L. Andy Pettitte (trapezius) played catch Thursday and Friday and is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Saturday. Pettitte was placed on the disabled list last week with a strained trapezius muscle, but he's currently throwing without any discomfort. The veteran left-hander expects to throw a simulated game rather than go out on a minor league rehab assignment. Either way, he should return around when he's first eligible on June 1. May 24
	4	Phil Hughes
	5	Ivan Nova
	6	David Phelps Sidelined David Phelps was diagnosed with a right forearm contusion. Phelps was removed from his start against the Rays in the eighth inning on Friday after being drilled on the forearm by a line drive. However, X-rays ruled out anything serious. It sounds like he'll be fine to make his next scheduled start against the Mets, but Ivan Nova is a candidate to replace him if the Yankees decide to play it safe. May 24
	7	Michael Pineda D.L. Michael Pineda (shoulder) threw five innings Thursday in a start at extended spring training. Pineda's fastball sat near 93 mph all afternoon and he reported no issues with his surgically-repaired shoulder. The right-hander is expected to make one more start at the Yankees' spring complex before heading out on a minor league rehab assignment. He should be stashed right now in leagues with big roster allotments. May 23
	8	Vidal Nuno
Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	Mariano Rivera
	2	David Robertson
	3	Boone Logan
	4	Joba Chamberlain D.L. Joba Chamberlain (oblique) is scheduled to throw two inning Saturday in extended spring training. Chamberlain pitched a scoreless inning for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre over a week ago, but the Yankees didn't think he was ready yet. However, if all goes well, there's a chance he could be activated late next week. The 27-year-old has been sidelined since April 27 with a strained oblique. May 23
	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	David Huff
