Yankees signed LHP Juan Cedeno to a minor league contract.

Cedeno has been pitching in independent leagues. The left-hander was traded from the Red Sox to the Royals in 2005 and DFA'd by Kansas City in the winter of 2006. He spent the 2008 season between the Tigers and Dodgers systems before washing out of minor league baseball. Cedeno has a decent fastball but has no chance to crack the Yankees roster.
