Yankees add Rico Noel and Jake Skole to provide minor league depth

The Yankees have seen plenty of roster moves involving their outfield depth this year with prospects like Mason Williams, Ramon Flores, Slade Heathcott, and even Taylor Dugas getting called up to the majors. Now that Jacoby Ellsbury and Carlos Beltran have both hit the disabled list, it would appear that depth is finally dissipating. In order to fill the void left by multiple injuries and call ups, the Yankees have acquired two new outfielders in Rico Noel and Jake Skole.

Noel, 26, was drafted by the Padres in the fifth round of the 2010 MLB Draft and finally reached Triple-A in 2014.
