Bird continues to rake in Charleston win

The Yankees have signed infielder Brendan Harris to a minor league contract and assigned him to Triple-A Scranton, reports Josh Norris. The 32-year-old hit .206/.252/.355 (69 wRC+) in 117 plate appearances for the Angels earlier this year, his first taste of the big leagues since 2010. Nothing to see here really, the Triple-A squad needs some warm bodies due to injuries and call-ups.
