Yankees left-hander  went unclaimed on waivers following his recent DFA and has been  Bruce Zimmermann Jersey a signed outright to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, the club announced. He was designated for a signment when the Yankees reinstated utilityman  from the injured list. Misiewicz will have the right to reject the a signment in favor of free agency if he wishes, though he can also become a minor league free agent at seasons end even if he accepts, given that he has (exactly) three years of service.  The 29-year-old Misiewicz pitched just one inning with the Yankees this season, to sing a shutout frame on June 19  though he allowed a pair of hits and a walk in that shaky outing. Hes spent the rest of the season in Scranton, where hes pitched 54 innings of 3.33 ERA ball with a 29.9% strikeout rate and a 6.7% walk rate out of the bullpen. Misiewicz has pitched for five teams acro s parts of five big league seasons, logging a collective 4.67 ERA with a roughly average 22.8% strikeout rate and a solid 7.6% walk rate.  Misiewicz doesnt have standout run-prevention numbers in the upper minors, but he has a pa sable 4.47 ERA in 209 1/3 Triple-A frames. Hes been more impre sive in terms of strikeouts and walks, fanning just over one quarter of his opponents there and limiting walks at a tidy 7.7% rate. The long ball has been an i sue, though, evidenced by a career 1.42 HR/9 mark at the top minor league level.  Keegan Akin Jersey
