It didn't take Ike Davis long to find work again.

Mere hours after being released from his minor-league contract by the Texas Rangers, the New York Yankees have reportedly agreed to a big-league deal with the first baseman, according to MLB Network's Jon Heyman.

Heyman also reports that the Yankees plan to use Davis in a platoon role with current first baseman Rob Refsnyder.

The Yankees previously showed interest in Davis in February before he signed with the Rangers.

The 29-year-old slashed .229/.301/.652 in the 214 at-bats this season with Triple-A Round Rock.
