Yankees' Wilking Rodriguez: Minors deal with Yankees

The Yankees signed Rodriguez to a minor-league contract Thursday, Aram Leighton of Just Baseball reports.

Rodriguez signed a minor-league deal with the Yankees before the 2023 season but was taken by the Cardinals in the Rule 5 draft. The 34-year-old throws hard but has been limited to just 20 appearances in the minors over the last two seasons because of shoulder problems.
