With the Yankees in an early-season injury crisis, it's possible he gets a look in a bench role, but for now he'll head to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Cliff Pennington: Let go by Athletics
Cliff Pennington was released by the Athletics on Saturday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.The 34-year-old has received at least some big-league playing time in 11 straight seasons, but he hasn't recorded an above-average batting line since 2009 and has posted a wRC+ above 75 just once in the last seven seasons. He could still stick somewhere as organizational depth this season but is unlikely to make a significant impact.

Rangers' Cliff Pennington: Signed to minor-league deal

Reds' Cliff Pennington: Removed from 40-man roster
Cliff Pennington cleared waivers Saturday and accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Louisville.Pennington was already with Louisville, having been optioned there Thursday. Now off the 40-man roster, he's one step further away from returning to the big leagues, though his versatility leaves him multiple avenues back to the show. With a career .242/.309/.339 line in parts of 11 seasons, though, don't expect much from him if he does end up back with the big club.

Reds' Cliff Pennington: Hits bench for third consecutive game
Cliff Pennington is not in the lineup Thursday against the Cardinals.There were some thoughts that Pennington could take over the vacant third base job while Eugenio Suarez (thumb) is out, but it seems like the Cincinnati Reds want to test out their younger options first. Alex Blandino will start Thursday and could continue to see a good amount of time at the hot corner along with Phil Gosselin. Nick Senzel is also looming in the minors and could fill the void in the coming weeks.
