The New York Yankees have signed a former Yankee.
The team has signed outfielder Marcus Thames to a minor-league contract. Thames is expected to start at the Triple-A level, then eventually get called up to the big league level.
Thames was a solid role player with the Yankees a year ago. But was struggling with the Los Angeles Dodgers this season prior to his release.
Thames had a .197 batting average with two home runs and seven RBI's in 66 at-bats with the Dodgers. But he was hampered by calf and quad injuries, as well.
Thames is expected to play a lot against left handers once he arrives in the Bronx at some point this summer. He has a .260 career batting average and a career .824 OPS against left handers.
