Rapada was released from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASN reports.

Rapada will bid farewell to his third franchise this season after spending time with both the Angels and Mariners organizations. He has not pithed in the big leagues since 2013 and has struggled at each of his Triple-A stops, posting a cumulative 5.63 ERA, allowing 24 earned runs over 38.1 innings.

Rapada spent nearly all of 2013 at Triple-A but put up a 2.82 ERA with 38 strikeouts across 38 1/3 frames for the Yankees in 2012. Sean Burnett is the only left-hander currently locked into a bullpen spot for the Angels, so Rapada could crack the Opening Day roster.

It's the second time over the last two months that they've released him. Rapada pitched well for the Yankees last season and shouldn't have trouble finding another gig in spite of his 4.66 ERA and Triple-A this season.

Rapada was designated for assignment over the weekend. The 32-year-old dealt with a shoulder injury during spring training, but he shouldn't have much trouble drawing interest. He should make for a useful left-handed specialist if healthy.

Yankees designated LHP Clay Rapada for assignment.

Rapada is dealing with a shoulder injury and was expected to open the season on the disabled list, but the Yankees needed to clear a 40-man roster spot for Lyle Overbay. If healthy, Rapada could draw interest as a left-handed specialist.

Yankees manager Joe Girardi said that he expects Clay Rapada (shoulder) to begin the season on the disabled list.

Rapada has been dealing with shoulder bursitis for a couple weeks, and although he's resumed playing catch, he just doesn't have enough time to get ready. Luckily for the Yankees, it appears that Boone Logan (elbow) will be ready.

Clay Rapada (shoulder), who had been shut down for nearly two weeks with left shoulder bursitis, has progressed to playing catch.

While he doesn't need a lot of spring innings to get himself ready for Opening Day, his status for the beginning of the season remains in question. The 32-year-old lefty registered a stellar 2.82 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 38/17 K/BB ratio over 70 appearances with the Yankees in 2012. He's nothing more than a left-handed specialist though, and holds no value in most fantasy leagues.

Clay Rapada will be sidelined for the next 7-10 days with left shoulder bursitis.

Relievers only need a handful of spring appearances to get properly tuned up for the start of the regular season, so this isn't a major concern yet. But it will become one if Rapada is still feeling discomfort in a week.

Clay Rapada allowed one run in 1 1/3 innings of relief Wednesday against the Blue Jays.

It was his first appearance since being diagnosed Monday with a viral infection. Rapada has registered a 3.97 ERA and 8/8 K/BB ratio in 11 1/3 innings this season.

According to MLB.com's Bryan Hoch, the Yankees are close to signing Clay Rapada to a minor league contract with invitation to spring training.

The Orioles released Rapada earlier this week in order to make room for Matt Lindstrom on their 40-man roster. He'll likely operate as a lefty specialist with the Yankees in spring training.
