Chirinos was released by the Yankees on Sunday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chirinos was away from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre for a couple weeks in June to play with the Venezuelan national team, and he's now heading to free agency. He appeared in 13 games at Triple-A and slashed .278/.422/.566 with three homers in 13 games.

Chirinos was placed on the temporary inactive list Sunday at Triple-A Scranton Wilkes/Barre, Conor Foley of The Scranton Times-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran backstop will be playing with the Venezuelan national team in an Olympic qualifier, so he'll step away from the RailRiders for a bit. Chirinos is batting .278/.409/.556 with three homers in 44 plate appearances for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season.

Chirinos (wrist) is slated to catch and bat seventh Tuesday in a game at the Yankees' alternate site, Conor Foley of The Scranton Times-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran catcher will be taking part in his first game action since March 10, when he fractured his right wrist in a Grapefruit League contest against the Pirates. He underwent surgery soon after, missing just over a month before gaining clearance for full baseball activities. It's unclear whether Chirinos plans to remain at the alternate site with the hope of being promoted to the big-league roster in the near future; he could also report to Triple-A Scranton-Wilkes Barre when the minor-league season starts next week.

Chirinos (wrist) has started swinging a bat and making throws to second base, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chirinos suffered a fractured right wrist as a result of a HBP in mid-March, and he was given an estimated recovery timeline of 4-6 weeks. The backstop appears to be making strides toward reaching that target, and he expects to start hitting off velocity soon. Chirinos is likely to work out at the team's alternate training site upon his return -- even when healthy, he sat third on the Yankees' catching depth chart.

The Yankees re-signed Chirinos (wrist) on Monday to a minor-league contract, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chirinos sustained a fractured right wrist earlier this month that ended his bid for making the Yankees' Opening Day roster, but he'll stick around at the organization's alternate site while he completes his rehab. According to Sherman, Chirinos expects to be available to play in games by late April or early May. Once healthy, Chirinos could unseat Kyle Higashioka as the backup to top catcher Gary Sanchez.

Chirinos (wrist) was released by the Yankees on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Chirinos underwent surgery on his fractured wrist earlier in March and is expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks as a result. Following his release, the 36-year-old will now be able to seek out opportunities in free agency.

Chirinos (fractured wrist) will have surgery Tuesday and could miss 4-to-6 weeks, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

EDGE Analysis

He was the third catcher on the depth chart, so this doesn't affect the expected playing time to start the season, although it does solidify Kyle Higashioka's spot as Gary Sanchez's backup.

Chirinos could require surgery to repair his fractured right wrist, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chirinos will seek a second opinion before undergoing any procedure. The 36-year-old suffered his injury when he was hit by a pitch Wednesday, and he'll be forced to miss extended time as a result.

Chirinos underwent X-rays and a CT scan Thursday that revealed a fractured right wrist.

EDGE Analysis

Chirinos was hit by a pitch during Wednesday's spring game against the Pirates and received treatment afterward. The 36-year-old should miss extended time following his diagnosis, and a better timetable for his recovery could be revealed once the team consults with wrist and hand specialists.

Chirinos (hand) is getting a CT scan Thursday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

He received treatment late Wednesday night after getting hit by a pitch, and this scan should reveal how serious the injury is. Chirinos is in Yankees camp as a non-roster invitee and projects as the third-string catcher.
