Nets minors deal from Yankees
Candelario agreed to a minor-league contract with the Yankees on Saturday, Conor Foley of YES Network reports.
Analysis
Candelario slashed only .113/.198/.213 across 91 plate appearances with the Reds before landing on the injured list in late April with a back injury. After making a full recovery, the 31-year-old was released by Cincinnati on Sunday, but he quickly found a new opportunity with New York. If Candelario is able to return to form at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, he could join the big-league roster at some point to provide corner-infield depth down the stretch.
