South Korean pitcher Chan Ho Park took part in his first workout with the Yankees on Sunday.
Park agreed last week to a one-year deal worth $1.2 million.
"He's a guy we've noticed the past few years, how he plays up out of the bullpen," Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said.
"I think our bullpen is a strength, to be honest. When Chan Ho Park was still on the [free agent] board this late and the ability to get him at $1.2 million, I thought that there was real value there. He makes us deeper."

Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez was involved in a minor accident Thursday on his way to Steinbrenner Field.
"I wouldn't even call it (an accident)," Rodriguez told the New York Daily News. "I was going about two miles per hour. It was a fender-bender.
"You couldn't even tell on my car. There wasn't even a scratch."
Rodriguez said the incident involving his $400,000 Maybach occurred "early" Thursday morning.

Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez felt a huge relief last fall when he helped the team win the World Series.
Rodriguez said a "humongous gorilla came off my back."
"Now I just have an opportunity to come out and play baseball and have fun," Rodriguez said.
"Really continue to focus on what I did in '09. Divorced myself of personal achievements and really buy into the whole team concept of winning ballgames. What can I do today to help the team win? It was the greatest year of my baseball career."
Rodriguez met with reporters on Thursday in the same tent where last year he addressed his past use of performance-enhancing drugs. Rodriguez said this year's media session made for a much different day.
"Looking back I thought it was a very important day," Rodriguez said. "I hit rock bottom. I've done a lot of growing up and realized a lot of things. I wanted to focus on baseball and eliminating a lot of distractions. For the most part I think I've done that. Now it's my responsibility to continue that."
