Royals claimed C George Kottaras off waivers from the Athletics.
Kottaras won't get much playing time unless Salvador Perez gets injured, but he represents a nice upgrade over Brett Hayes as the backup. The 29-year-old batted .211/.351/.415 with nine homers last year between the Brewers and A's.
Jan 25 - 2:19 PM
Chad Jennings of the Journal News reports that the Yankees aren't interested in George Kottaras.
Kottaras was designated for assignment by the Athletics last week following the acquisition of John Jaso. While there was some speculation that the Yankees could have interest, they appear poised to open the season with a catching tandem of Francisco Cervelli and Chris Stewart.

Athletics designated C George Kottaras for assignment.
The move was made in order to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for John Jaso. Kottaras is a viable backup, at the very least, and seems likely to be traded. He's slated to make $1 million in 2013 after batting .211/.351/.415 with nine homers last year.
Jan 16 - 8:10 PM
Athletics and C George Kottaras avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year contract.
CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports that the deal is worth $1 million. Kottaras, who was arbitration-eligible for the second time this winter, made $700,000 last season while hitting .211/.351/.415 with nine home runs, 31 RBI and a .766 OPS in 209 plate appearances between the Brewers and Athletics. He's slated to begin 2013 as Derek Norris' backup.

Jarrod Dyson
D.L.
Jarrod Dyson has been diagnosed with a mild high ankle sprain and is expected to be sidelined for 2-to-4 weeks.
The 28-year-old speedster had been off to a decent start this season, hitting .268/.286/.561 with a homer, eight RBI and six stolen bases through his first 41 at-bats. While the timetable for recovery is short, any injury to the ankle is something to very closely monitor for a player such as Dyson who derives all of his fantasy value from his speed. David Lough could be worth a look in very deep leagues while Dyson is out.

Danny Duffy
D.L.
Danny Duffy (elbow) threw 20 pitches in an extended spring training game on Saturday.
It was Duffy's second game appearance in extended spring as he works his way back from Tommy John surgery. The Royals are hopeful that the lefty will be able to throw five innings on the anniversary date of his surgery (June 13), though it will be later than that before he's ready to join the rotation.

Felipe Paulino
D.L.
Felipe Paulino (elbow) threw 25 pitches of live batting practice on Saturday.
It's Paulino's second such session as he continues his recovery from Tommy John surgery. The Royals are hoping that Paulino will be able to throw five innings on the anniversary date of his surgery (July 3), but it will be later than that before he's ready to rejoin the rotation.
