Solano signed a minor league contract with the Yankees on Friday, Matt Eddy of Baseball America reports.

After two relatively successful campaigns with the Marlins, Solano struggled offensively in 2015, and his run with the team has now come to an end. The 28-year-old will now provide depth in the Yankees' system.

Wilkins was claimed off waivers by the Brewers on Wednesday.

The Brewers are the fourth organization to claim Wilkins in the last four months, so a lot could happen before now and Opening Day. At 27 years old, he is hardly a prospect anymore, despite maintaining rookie eligibility. He could compete for a job at first base in spring training if he remains with the Brewers, but he offers very little fantasy upside.

Wilkins was claimed off waivers by the Rangers on Monday, Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times reports.

It's already the second time this offseason, and the third time since the start of September, that Wilkins has been claimed off waivers, as he was designated for assignment by the Mariners earlier in the month after being with the club for just a week. He slashed a combined .251/.315/.447 at the Triple-A level last season and will likely begin the year back in the minors.

Wilkins was designated for assignment on Wednesday, Shannon Drayer of 710 AM ESPN Seattle reports.

Wilkins was claimed at the beginning of December by the Mariners, but with the acquisition of Lind, Wilkins found his spot on the 40-Man roster gone. He spent last season in the Dodgers and Blue Jays organizations, hitting .251 with 79 RBI in 126 games.

Wilkins was claimed off waivers by the Orioles back in September, but he was DFA'd last week and will land with the Mariners organization, likely providing infield depth in 2016. The 27-year-old spent last season at Triple-A for the Dodgers and Blue Jays organizations, hitting a combined .251/.315/.447 with 79 RBI in 126 games.

Wilkins was designated for assignment Wednesday.

Wilkins, who was claimed off waivers by the Orioles in the beginning of September, was DFA'd after the team acquired outfielder L.J. Hoes from the Astros on Wednesday. The 27-year-old first baseman did hit 18 home runs and 70 RBI with the Dodgers Triple-A affiliate at Oklahoma City, but he wasn't expected to provide much more than organizational depth in the coming years.

Calhoun became arbitration-eligible by the margin of one day, the Orange County Register reports.

Calhoun will be eligible for arbitration this year, meaning he'll earn millions more than the $600,000 minimum salary he would have otherwise been paid this season, plus he'll get a fourth year of arbitration instead of three.

Colabello is in the lineup for Friday's ALDS matchup with the Rangers, Sportsnet's Shi Davidi reports.

After being limited to bench duty in Game 1, Colabello will take Justin Smoak's spot in the lineup for Game with southpaw Cole Hamels getting the start for the Rangers. He will hit sixth in the Blue Jays' batting order.

Indians first baseman Carlos Santana went 2 for 3 with a double and a solo homer in Saturday's 2-0 victory over the Red Sox.

Santana posted his third two-hit outing in the last four games, and has four RBI over the first two games of the season-ending series against the Red Sox. Although he did suffer a drop in homers this season, Santana has now matched last season's 85 RBI and has crossed the plate 72 times, four more than his total in 2014.

White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu went 2 for 4 with two RBI in a loss to the Royals on Thursday.

The two RBI now give the Cuban 101 on the season and he's making history, as one of the first players to have two 30-100 season in their first two years. Imagine how good his season could have been if the White sox lived up to the lofty expectations they had at the beginning of the season. One more bat to protect Abreu could do him a world of good next year and will only raise his already sky-high value.
