Yankees land ex-Angels infielder in free agency

The New York Yankees agreed to a contract with former Los Angeles Angels infielder Jose Rojas, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports. It is a minor league deal for Rojas, but it does include an invite to MLB spring training.

Rojas features versatility. He can play second or third base, and also has experience in the outfield. As a result, Rojas could end up emerging as a key utility man for New York during the 2023 season.

Rojas has played two years at the MLB level, both of which came with the Angels in 2021 and 2022. He slashed .188/.245/.339/.584 across 83 total games in those two seasons.
