The Yankees selected Luciano's contract from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday.
It's a procedural move in order to add Luciano to the 40-man roster. The 25-year-old infielder spent last season with Double-A Somerset and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, where he combined to slash .293/.387/.545 with 27 home runs, 78 RBI, 90 runs scored, eight stolen bases and a 64:122 BB:K across 493 plate appearances. He should get a chance to win a job with the big club during spring training.
