The Yankees have outrighted outfielder Lane Adams to Triple-A Scranton, the team announced. He has been invited to Spring Training as a non-roster player. The Yankees will now have 26 non-roster players in camp.
Adams, 26, was claimed off waivers from the Royals last month, then designated for assignment last week when the Yankees hilariously re-claimed Ronald Torreyes off waivers from the Angels. The team originally designated Torreyes for assignment when they claimed Adams last month. Got all that?
In 140 games split between Double-A and Triple-A last year, Adams hit .275/.342/.436 (115 wRC+) with 16 home runs and 31 steals in 140 games.
