Maxwell provides power for Astros

The Houston Astros claimed outfielder Justin Maxwell off waivers from the New York Yankees in search of a right-handed bench bat who could provide some pop. And in Maxwell's first at-bat with the 'Stros, he hit a two-run homer on Monday.

Maxwell homers in Houston debut

HOUSTON- Nameplates are often last on the checklist in the frenzy of player transactions, thus while Justin Maxwell was sufficiently outfitted for his Astros debut and announced his arrival with a two-run, pinch-hit home run in the eighth inning on Monday night at Minute Maid Park, the space next to the No. 22 above his locker remained blank afterward. That logistical hazard did...

Astros claim Justin Maxwell off waivers

Just as expected, the Houston Astros claimed Yankees outfielder Justin Maxwell, who didn’t make the team out of spring training and was out of options, according to Brian McTaggart of MLB.com. It’s a shame the Yankees had to lose Maxwell, who had a very strong showing in the spring, especially after Raul Ibanez showed everyone why he’s a DH and not an outfielder...

Yankees release Hall and DFA Maxwell

A couple of position players failed to make the team yesterday as the Yankees released Bill Hall and designated Justin Maxwell for assignement, according to Dan Barbarisi and Wallace Matthews.

Maxwell likely done with the Yankees

Our own Nick Fleder wrote a great piece comparing Yankees outfielders Justin Maxwell and Chris Dickerson yesterday. Both seem like strong tools off the bench who could even be decent starters with a few teams around the league. However, the Yankees are on the verge of losing Maxwell because he is out of options and they would certainly lose him in waivers if he doesn’t make...

Rumor: Yankees getting interest in Justin Maxwell
