The New York Yankees have signed former Reds infielder Jeimer Candelario to a minor league deal, according to Yes Network's Conor Foley.

The Reds released the veteran infielder in June.

Candelario was hitting just .113 with two home runs with Cincinnati this season.

In April, he was placed on the injured list with a lumbar spine strain. Candelario went on a rehab assignment and played in 15 games with Triple-A Louisville where he struggled as well, slashing .211/318/.333.

In December of 2023, the Reds signed Candelario to a three-year, $45 million deal.
