Yankees signed OF Cole Garner to a minor league deal. | ||||||
Garner became a free agent after being non-tendered by the Rockies in December. The 27-year-old had a brief stint with the big-league club last July, but spent the majority of the 2011 season at Triple-A Colorado Springs, batting .330/.366/.557 with eight home runs, 35 RBI and a .923 OPS over 203 plate appearances. He'll provide some outfield depth with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. | ||||||

Garner wasn't even arbitration-eligible yet, but the move makes him a free agent.

He's essentially making room for Dexter Fowler, both on the active roster and in the outfield. Garner is 2-for-9 (.222) in two brief stints with the Rockies this season. | ||||||

Garner was sent down to the minors earlier this week, but he's back because of the injury to Charlie Blackmon. The 26-year-old will start in right field and bat sixth against Nationals' left-hander John Lannan. Rockies manager Jim Tracy will likely mix and match him in his lineup, so he's worth a wait and see in NL-only leagues. | ||||||

The Rockies will recall Cole Garner from Triple-A Colorado Springs on Friday. | ||||||
Garner was called up for a 24-hour stay in the big leagues earlier this month. With Charlie Blackmon out several weeks due to a fractured foot, the 26-year-old's stay should be a bit longer this time around. | ||||||

Well, that was fast. Garner was just called up from the minors Monday to give the Rockies some insurance for their outfield after Carlos Gonzalez's wrist injury. He flew out in his lone at-bat. | ||||||

Garner, 25, is something of a late bloomer. He hit .304 with 13 homers and 61 RBI this year at the Triple-A level and could factor into the Rockies' plans late in the 2011 season. He would have become a minor-league free agent if the Rox failed to add him to their big league roster within five days of the completion of the World Series. | ||||||
