Angels' Branden Pinder: Signs minor-league deal with Angels
Pinder signed a minor-league contract with the Angels on Thursday.
Pinder will report to Triple-A Salt Lake City after being released by the Yankees in late July. Pinder made 26 appearances (28.2 innings) with the Yankees in 2015, and had a 3.45 ERA and 1.16 WHIP with 26 strikeouts, but has pitched very little this season while recovering from last year's Tommy John surgery.

Yankees' Branden Pinder: Activated off DL
Pinder (elbow) was activated off the 7-day DL and made his season debut with Double-A Trenton on Friday, striking out three over two scoreless innings.
After undergoing Tommy John surgery last April, the 27-year-old needed five rehab appearances before he was deemed ready to head out to the Yankees' Double-A affiliate. Pinder looked sharp, and he'll now likely serve as organizational depth in the bullpen going forward now that he's healthy.

Yankees' Branden Pinder: Kicks off rehab stint with five-strikeout effort
Pinder (elbow) began a rehab assignment with short-season Staten Island on Tuesday, tossing three scoreless innings with five strikeouts.
Pinder underwent Tommy John surgery in April of 2016, but it seems like everything is back in working order. He'll likely require a few more rehab appearances before returning to full duty with the Triple-A squad, but this is certainly a good sign moving forward. He could be back in full sometime in early July.

Yankees' Branden Pinder: Tosses batting practice
Pinder (elbow) threw a batting practice session Tuesday, the Associated Press reports.
Pinder is just a week shy of being a year removed from Tommy John surgery, and after missing nearly all of 2016 it sounds like he could be back in game action in the near future. The righty impressed in his first stint in the big leagues with a 2.93 ERA in 25 relief appearances in 2015, but once he's healthy he figures to serve as organizational depth in the bullpen.

Yankees' Branden Pinder: Casted off 40-man roster Tuesday
Pinder (elbow) was designated for assignment Tuesday.
Pinder underwent Tommy John surgery in April, so he likely won't be able to pitch for a good chunk of the first half in 2017. Once he does return, however, the 27-year-old will look to claw his way back into the major league bullpen after making his debut in 2015, when he posted a 2.93 ERA in 27.2 innings pitched.

Yankees' Branden Pinder: Moved to 60-day DL
Pinder was transferred to the 60-day DL on Monday.
The move is simply a formality, as it frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for Aroldis Chapman, who was activated from his suspension Monday. Pinder will miss the entire 2016 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery last month.

Pinder will undergo Tommy John surgery Tuesday, Jared Diamond of The Wall Street Journal reports.

Yankees' Branden Pinder: Diagnosed with UCL tear
Pinder (elbow) was diagnosed with a UCL tear in his throwing elbow Saturday, Brendan Kuty of the Star-Ledger reports.
This is the situation Pinder was hoping to avoid when he was placed on the DL earlier in the week with what was initially called an elbow strain. Neither he nor the team have commented on whether Tommy John surgery will be necessary, but even if it's not, Pinder figures to face a fairly lengthy recovery timeline. Expect more details to emerge over the next couple of days.

Pinder has been placed on the 15-day DL with a right elbow strain retroactive to Thursday.
Pinder was recently recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, pitching in just one inning against the A's on Wednesday in which he gave up two runs on three hits and a walk. With Pinder out, the Yankees recalled Nick Goody from Triple-A to provide some bullpen depth.

Yankees' Branden Pinder: Recalled from Triple-A
Pinder was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.
Pinder will take the spot of Tyler Olson, who was optioned back to Triple-A on Saturday after throwing 2.2 innings in Friday's loss to Seattle. The 27-year-old Pinder, who appeared in 25 games for New York last season, has allowed two hits while striking out eight over five Triple-A innings thus far in 2016.

Yankees' Branden Pinder: Optioned to Triple-A
Pinder was optioned to Triple-A on Wednesday, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.
Pinder spent some time at the major league level last season, appearing in 25 games and posting a healthy 2.93 ERA across 27.2 innings. He had a chance to grab hold of one of the team's final bullpen spots, but he'll open the year at Triple-A with a chance to be called up later in the season.

Yankees' Branden Pinder: Looking good in spring training
Pinder has worked to a 2.08 ERA through five appearances in Grapefruit League action.
Pinder entered spring training as a candidate for one of the big league team's last bullpen spots, and so far he's put forth mostly solid outings. The 27-year-old made his major league debut last season, working to a 2.93 ERA in 27.2 innings, and he could wind up in a similar, low-leverage role for the Yankees again this year.
