Yankees release Scott Baker, reassign Kyle Davies

The Yankees have released pitcher Scott Baker and reassigned Kyle Davies to minor-league camp, the New York Daily News reports.

Baker struggled in his attempt to win a spot on the roster this spring, giving up nine earned runs in 10 1/3 innings, though he did strike out 10 batters while walking none. The team could potentially re-sign him at a later date.

Davies gave up four earned runs in seven innings this spring.
