Yankees sign, activate veteran INF Matt Carpenter
The New York Yankees signed three-time All-Star infielder Matt Carpenter to a Major League contract Thursday and added him to their active roster.
Carpenter, 36, was released by the Texas Rangers last week.
He signed a minor league deal with the Rangers and reported to Triple-A Round Rock. He was batting .275 with six home runs and 19 RBIs but the Rangers couldn't find a spot for him on their big-league roster.
