Casey McGehee: Signs with Yomiuri Giants in Japan on Saturday
Casey McGehee signed a one-year deal with Japan's Yomiuri Giants on Saturday, Ken Rosenthal of MLB Network reports.McGehee became a free agent in November and after a month of evaluating his options, the third basemen decided to play professional baseball in Japan.

Tigers' Casey McGehee: Getting full-time look at third base
Casey McGehee will start at third base and bat seventh in the order Sunday against the Rangers.Since Nick Castellanos (hand) landed on the DL last Sunday, McGehee has stepped in to start all seven of the Detroit Tigers' games at third base. During that span, McGehee gone 9-for-26 at the plate, but due to his low standing in that batting order, he's accrued only two runs and one RBI. Even so, the prospect of regular playing time during Castellanos' absence at least makes McGehee worth a look in AL-only formats.

Tigers' Casey McGehee: Called up Sunday, will start at third base
Casey McGehee was recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Sunday. He'll bat seventh in the order and start at third base in the Detroit Tigers' game against the Mets.With Nick Castellanos landing on the DL after fracturing his left hand in Saturday's game, McGehee will join the big club for the second time this season to add some depth at third base. Manager Brad Ausmus indicated duties at the hot corner would be shared among McGehee, Austin Romine and Mike Aviles, so none of those players will profile as a particularly attractive fantasy option unless somebody hits well enough to run away with the everyday gig.
