<p>The New York Yankees invited an additional 23 players to major-league spring training, including top prospect Gleyber Torres and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders outfielder Clint Frazier.</p><p>Of the 23 players invited to join the Yankees&#8217; 40-man roster at spring training, 11 are on the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre roster: Frazier, pitcher Daniel Camarena, first baseman Ji-Man Choi, pitcher Jason Gurka, shortstop Pete Kozma, pitcher Brady Lail, pitcher Jordan Montgomery, pitcher Nick Rumbelow, catcher Jorge Saez, third baseman Donovan Solano and shortstop Ruben Tejada. Choi, Gurka, Kozma, Solano and Tejada all signed minor-league deals with an invitation to the major league camp this offseason, and were assigned to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, while Camarena, Frazier, Lail and Montgomery all played big roles in the RailRiders&#8217; run to International League and Triple-A National Championship crowns. Kozma did, however, spend 2016 with the RailRiders, batting .209 in 30 games with the RailRiders.</p><p>Rumbelow spent 2016 in the Yankees&#8217; organization. The righty had Tommy John surgery in April and spent the season on the disabled list. After getting released on Nov. 23, he was re-signed three weeks later and was assigned to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Dec. 21. Rumbelow spent time in both Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and New York in 2015 and is unlikely to pitch in spring training due to his recovery, according to NJ.com&#8217;s Brendan Kuty.</p><p>Saez was claimed off of waivers from the New Hampshire Fisher Cats (Toronto Blue Jays) on Dec. 8 and was assigned to the RailRiders. The catcher had a .232 batting average with 20 RBIs and six home runs in 40 games with Double-A New Hampshire. Saez was selected by the Yankees in the first round of the Triple-A portion of the 2016 Rule 5 Draft.</p><p>Solano spent much of 2016 with the RailRiders before getting the call-up to the Bronx on Sept. 18. After the season he was sent outright back to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, but instead choose free agency. He signed a minor-league deal with a spring training invite on Dec. 8 and was assigned to the RailRiders on Jan. 11.</p><p>Tejada, who also joins the RailRiders on a minor-league deal with a camp invite, appeared in 616 games over seven seasons with the New York Mets. After being released from the Mets in March, the infielder played for the St. Louis Cardinals and San Francisco Giants in 2016. Tejada hit .167 in 36 games games last season.</p><p>Torres and Frazier lead a group of highly touted prospects heading to camp. Torres is the Yankees&#8217; top prospect, according to Baseball America, while Frazier ranks second. Joining them is pitcher James Kaprielian (No. 5), pitcher Justus Sheffield (No. 7), pitcher Chance Adams (No. 8) and outfielder Dustin Fowler (No. 9).</p><p>Pitcher J.P. Feyereisen, shortstop Tyler Wade, catcher Wilkin Castillo, catcher Kellin Deglan, catcher Francisco Diaz, pitcher Joe Mantiply and pitcher Evan Rutckyj.</p><style>
