Yankees' Dan Otero: Released and re-signed by Yankees

Otero was released by the Yankees on Sunday but was immediately re-signed to a minor league contract and added to the 60-man player pool.

Otero's release and re-signing was likely a procedural move to address a contractual issue. The right-hander may not break camp as a member of the team's 30-man roster, but he should be among the first in line to receive a promotion if the need for a bullpen arm arises.
