The Yankees officially lost a piece of their veteran infield depth on Thursday.
Pablo Reyes elected free agency after going unclaimed off of waivers.
Reyes, of course, was DFA’d earlier this week to make room for Giancarlo Stanton on the active roster.

The 31-year-old landed with the Bombers on a minor league deal this offseason, and he ended up cracking one of the last roster spots out of camp as the team dealt with a plethora of injuries.
Now that New York is back healthy it came down to Reyes or Oswald Peraza to be let go, and they ultimately decided to hold onto the former highly-regarded prospect.
Reyes appeared in just 24 games as a Yankee — picking up one RBI and six hits.
