Peter Strzelecki: Everything you need to know

Strzelecki signed a minor-league contract with the Yankees on Saturday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. Strzelecki elected free agency Wednesday after being DFA'd by the Brewers, and he'll now receive an opportunity to carve out a role for himself in the Yankees organization. He will report to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, though his career 3.44 ERA and 1.22 WHIP in the majors make him a strong candidate for promotion at some point this season.

Strzelecki cleared waivers Wednesday and elected free agency, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. Strzelecki was selected to the Brewers' active roster Saturday to provide extra bullpen depth but was DFA'd by the team Sunday without ever making an appearance. He'll now explore his options in free agency after passing through waivers unclaimed, though he will likely have to settle for another minor-league contract.

The Brewers designated Strzelecki for assignment Sunday. Milwaukee selected Strzelecki's contract from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday, but he'll lose his spot without having appeared in a game. The right-hander had a 3.92 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 21:4 K:BB over 20.2 innings with Nashville prior to being called up.
