Rotowire
Burdi signed a minor-league contract with the Red Sox on Friday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

When he was healthy, he made 12 regular-season appearances for the Yankees, allowing two earned runs and striking out 12 batters over 9.2 innings. He's starting off his tenure with the Red Sox in minor-league camp, so he doesn't seem to have a shot at cracking their Opening Day bullpen, but he could work his way back to the majors over the summer.

Yankees' Nick Burdi: Starting up rehab assignment
Rotowire
Burdi (hip) will report to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday to begin a rehab assignment.

Prior to being deactivated, Burdi made 12 appearances out of the Yankees bullpen, giving up two earned runs on five hits and nine walks while striking out 12 over 9.2 innings.
