Instead of recalling Austin Romine or Jesus Montero to replace Francisco Cervelli, the Yankees signed Chad Moeller to a minor-league contract, according to Peter Abraham. They have also invited him to spring training.
Moeller was released by Washington on Sunday. In 37 games between Cincinnati and Los Angeles last season, he hit .161 in 56 at-bats.
Update - 3:50 p.m.: According to Bryan Hoch, Moeller said that he's been told he'll be the starting catcher at AAA Scranton/Wilkes Barre. He is also wearing No. 65 in camp.

Even more reassignments
According to Peter Abraham, Alan Horne, Jeff Marquez and Chase Wright were all assigned to the minor league camp after pitching in today's game.
They join:
Daniel McCutchen, Steven Jackson, Steven White, Scott Strickland, Mark Melancon, Eric Duncan, Jesus Montero, Marcos Vechionacchi and Austin Romine.
Due to the Francisco Cervelli injury, a catcher (either Montero or Romine) will be brought back from the minor league camp.
