Patrick Newman of NPB Tracker reports that Sergio Mitre is in camp on a trial basis with the Rakuten Golden Eagles in Japan.

The 32-year-old right-hander hasn't pitched in the Major Leagues since the 2011 season when he was a member of the Yankees. He isn't quite ready to hang em' up yet though, so he'll look to rebuild his value in Japan before perhaps coming back stateside.

According to Tim Dierkes of MLB Trade Rumors, Sergio Mitre plans to throw for MLB teams in March or April.

Mitre was limited to two appearances after the All-Star break last year due to a shoulder injury, but he intends to pitch this season. The 31-year-old right-hander owns a 5.21 ERA over 143 appearances (64 starts) in the majors.

Sergio Mitre will see Dr. James Andrews on Sunday about a pinched nerve in his right shoulder.

Mitre was placed on the disabled list last month with right shoulder tendinitis and was diagnosed with a pinched nerve following an MRI. He believes surgery is 90 percent probable.

An MRI on Sergio Mitre's pitching shoulder revealed a nerve issue.

He doesn't have structural damage but will require more tests. Mitre was recently moved to the 60-day DL and might not make it back this season.

Yankees transferred RHP Sergio Mitre from the 15-day to the 60-day disabled list.

He was cleared to make room for Rafael Soriano on the 40-man roster. Mitre was placed on the disabled list with shoulder tendinitis last week and was being sent for an MRI on Friday, so it sounds like the Yankees are confident he will need to be out for a while.

Sergio Mitre will soon undergo further tests on his shoulder.

It doesn't appear that he's had a setback, so the Yankees are likely just seeing how much progress he's made with his tendinitis. Mitre is expected back in early August.

Yankees placed RHP Sergio Mitre on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to July 16, with right shoulder tendinitis.

Mitre has been sick over the past few days, so he was likely going to be unavailable in the short-term, anyway. The 30-year-old right-hander has allowed nine runs (seven earned) on nine hits over 5 1/3 innings since being reacquired by the Yankees at the end of June. Steve Garrison has replaced him on the active roster.

Tim Dierkes of MLB Trade Rumors hears that the Brewers have received "multiple calls" on Sergio Mitre.

Mitre was designated for assignment Monday, so the Brewers have 10 days to trade, release or send him to the minors. For what it's worth, Dierkes believes that Mitre "has a good chance of being traded." The 30-year-old right-hander has a 3.27 ERA and 14/10 K/BB ratio over 33 innings this season.

Brewers designated RHP Sergio Mitre for assignment.

The Brewers had to do a bit of roster shuffling Monday with Mat Gamel and Zach Braddock coming up from the minor leagues. Mitre, who was acquired from the Yankees in March, has a 3.27 ERA and 14/10 K/BB ratio over 33 innings with the Brewers this season. There's a chance someone could make a claim.

Sergio Mitre returned to action on Monday April 25.

Sergio Mitre is unavailable Tuesday after being hit on his right triceps by a comebacker during Monday's game.

The good news is that he felt much better Tuesday, so he might not have to miss much time. Consider him day-to-day right now.

Brewers acquired RHP Sergio Mitre from the Yankees for OF Chris Dickerson.

Mitre gives the Brewers another stretched-out arm to help with the early-season absence of Zack Greinke and possibly Shaun Marcum. The 30-year-old righty will probably serve mostly in a long relief role, but he could see several starts in April and might carry sneaky value in NL-only fantasy leagues. Mitre posted a shiny 3.33 ERA and 1.09 WHIP across 54 innings last season.

According to ESPN's Jerry Crasnick, the Brewers have acquired Sergio Mitre from the Yankees.

Mitre has struggled to the tune of a 5.73 ERA over 11 innings this spring and was probably on the fence for an Opening Day roster spot with the Yanks. The Brewers can use him as a rotation fill-in while Shaun Marcum and Zack Greinke recover from their respective injuries. That, or they might just stick him in long relief.

Serigo Mitre (oblique) is hoping to be able to pitch again by Thursday.

The right-hander was scratched from a scheduled appearance Monday due to soreness on his left side. Mitre is pretty confident that he doesn't have a strain, but the Yankees may run an MRI on him Monday or Tuesday to be sure. He's still in the running for a final rotation spot or long relief gig.

Sergio Mitre was scratched from his scheduled Monday appearance due to an apparent oblique injury.

Manny Banuelos will start in his place. If Mitre indeed has an oblique injury, he could be sidelined for up to a month. That would open things up for Freddy Garcia, Bartolo Colon and Ivan Nova, who would fill out the final two spots in the Yanks' rotation and the club's final relief opening. It's not yet clear which pitcher would get which spot.

Sergio Mitre delivered three scoreless innings against an Orioles' split-squad team on Monday night.

The candidates for the final two spots in the starting rotation continue to bring their A-game. Mitre allowed three hits while striking out three and walking none. He now has five scoreless innings under his belt this spring. Mitre might not end up with a rotation spot, but he'll likely stick on the roster anyway since he's out of options.

The Yankees and RHP Sergio Mitre avoided arbitration Wednesday by agreeing to a one-year, $900,000 contract.

He could earn an additional $200,000 in performance-based incentives. Mitre, who turns 30 in February, posted a 3.33 ERA and 29/16 K/BB ratio over 54 innings with the Yankees this past season. He'll contribute out of the bullpen again next season.

Sergio Mitre has been awarded a spot on the Yankees' ALDS roster.

Dustin Moseley also made the cut, rounding out the Yanks' first-round bullpen for their matchup against the Twins. Chad Gaudin did not get a spot, neither did Royce Ring, Javier Vazquez or Ivan Nova.

Yankees activated RHP Sergio Mitre from the 15-day disabled list.

Mitre, who has been out with an oblique injury, will start Saturday for the Yanks and looks to remain in the rotation for a few weeks while Andy Pettitte is on the DL. The right-hander held a 4.61 ERA in his rehab starts but did strike out 16 while walking only two over 13 2/3 innings.

Sergio Mitre (oblique) gave up three runs over 4 2/3 innings in his final minor league rehab start with Triple-A Scranton-Wilkes Barre on Monday night.

It doesn't look great, but keep in mind that two of the runs scored after Mitre left the game. All told, Mitre gave up four hits -- all singles -- while striking out four and walking two. He threw 48 out of 73 pitches for strikes. Mitre is expected to take the place of the injured Andy Pettitte in the starting rotation next week. He's an interesting pick for those willing to gamble in AL-only and even deeper mixed formats.
