The Yankees have signed first baseman Ben Broussard to a minor-league deal and assigned him to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, according to Chad Jennings.
Broussard, a lefty, hit three home runs and drove in eight runs in 26 games and 82 at-bats for Texas this season. He was released earlier this month.
Jennings suggests that this is a move to give Scranton extra offense and to provide the Yankees with some depth in case Jason Giambi gets injured.
