Giants backup catcher Eli Whiteside was claimed off waivers by the Yankees on Monday.

Whiteside was the Giants' third-string catcher behind Buster Posey and Hector Sanchez.

He will likely compete with another ex-Giants catcher, Chris Stewart, for a backup job with the Yankees.

The Royals have made a series of moves, claiming Guillermo Moscoso off waivers from the Rockies and Brett Hayes from the Marlins.

Kansas City lost Blake Wood, who was claimed by the Indians.

Moscoso was 3-2 with a 6.12 ERA for Colorado, but was 8-10 with a 3.38 ERA while starting 21-of-23 games two years ago in Oakland.

Hayes hit .202 in 39 games for Miami last season.

Jordan Schafer is heading back to Atlanta, and rejoining the organization where he started his major league career.

Schafer was reacquired by the Braves on Thursday when they claimed him off waivers from the Astros, according to an Associated Press report.
