Clayton Andrews: Everything you need to know

The Giants signed Andrews to a minor-league contract on July 8. Andrews elected free agency rather than accepting an outright assignment by the Yankees late last month and has quickly caught on in a new organization. The left-handed reliever has already made one appearance in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate, allowing four runs while recording one out. He should eventually move up to Triple-A Sacramento.

Andrews elected free agency Wednesday in lieu of accepting an outright assignment. Last week, the Yankees moved Andrews off their 40-man roster for the second time this season. Andrews accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre upon clearing waivers back in April, but he won't do the same this time around and will instead look to join an organization that can present him with a clearer path to the big leagues. The lefty reliever made 20 appearances this season at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, posting a 5.84 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 28:22 K:BB in 24.2 innings.

The Yankees outrighted Andrews to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday. It's the second time since April that Andrews has been outrighted after departing the Yankees' 40-man roster. Whether he accepts the assignment and remains in the organization or elects free agency is not yet known.
