Kelenic signed a minor-league contract with the Yankees on Saturday, Conor Foley of YES Network reports.

Once considered a top prospect in the sport, Kelenic fizzled out with Seattle and has bounced around in the years since. He has played in 36 big-league games this season between the White Sox and Rangers, slashing .219/.313/.288 in 83 plate appearances. It's not completely out of the question that he joins the parent club in September, but Kelenic appears set to join Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre for the time being.

Kelenic elected to become a free agent Tuesday.

3w agoRotowire

After passing through waivers following his removal from the Rangers' 40-man roster, Kelenic has decided to test out free agency rather than accepting an outright assignment. The outfielder previously chose the same route before eventually re-signing with Texas, so that could happen again.

The Rangers designated Kelenic for assignment Sunday.

Kelenic has now been cast off a 40-man roster on three occasions, with the Rangers DFAing him the last two times. The 27-year-old outfielder has slashed just .219/.313/.288 with one home run, six RBI and five runs across 83 plate appearances at the big-league level this season between stops with the White Sox and Rangers. He's unlikely to get claimed off waivers and could elect free agency once he clears.

The Rangers selected Kelenic's contract from Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.

Aug 11Rotowire

After recently re-signing with Texas on a minor-league contract, Kelenic is back with the big-league club. The 26-year-old last appeared in the majors June 28. With the White Sox and Rangers this season, Kelenic has posted a .213/.304/.295 slash line with one home run and four RBI in 69 plate appearances. Texas designated Jonah Bride for assignment to make room for Kelenic on both the 26- and 40-man rosters.

The Rangers re-signed Kelenic to a minor-league contract Wednesday.

Jul 30Rotowire

Kelenic has posted a 1.110 OPS in 28 games with Triple-A Round Rock this season but has slashed just .213/.304/.295 over 26 contests in the majors with the White Sox and Rangers. The former top prospect will give Texas some experienced outfield depth at Round Rock.
