The Yankees claimed INF Hanser Alberto off waivers from Texas and added the 26-year-old to the 40-man roster, which now stands at 37.
Alberto, who can play second, third and short, spent most of 2018 in Triple-A. In 192 major league plate appearances over parts of three seasons, he had an OPS of .440.
Yankees pro scout Joe Caro left the organization and is now working for the Marlins.
