Yankees' Jon Niese: Re-signs with Yankees

Niese is returning to the Yankees on a minor-league contract, George A. King III of the New York Post reports.

Analysis:

Niese was released by the Yankees on Sunday, but as expected, the 30-year-old decided to return to the team with the knowledge that he'd be starting the year out in the minors. He'll likely serve as organizational depth at Triple-A.
