The Yankees continued to bring in possible depth pitching options by signing righty Drake Fellows to a minor league pact Friday, The Post’s Jon Heyman reported.
Fellows, 27, spent four seasons in the Pirates organization and topped out at Triple-A last season, when he pitched both as a starter and reliever and posted a 4.41 ERA.

He was better out of the bullpen, when he pitched to a 3.86 ERA with 35 strikeouts in 30 ¹/₃ innings.
Fellows often led with a low-90s sinker, but his best pitch is a slider that generated a whiff on over half the swings from opposing batters.
The big righty, who is listed at 6-foot-5, 216 pounds, becomes another optionable arm who will try to work his way to The Bronx.
The Yankees have been busy adding such fliers recently, signing righty Bradley Hanner on Thursday and selecting Rule 5 pick Cade Winquest on Wednesday.
