Josh Donaldson has signed a Minor League deal with the Milwaukee Brewers.
The New York Yankees released Donaldson earlier this week.
Donaldson, 37, will report to Triple-A Nashville.
"Certainly you look at the pedigree of this guy and what he's accomplished in the game, I think walking in the door he has instant credibility and a presence I think that could potentially help us," Brewers president of baseball operations Matt Arnold said.
By signing Thursday, Donaldson would be eligible for the postseason roster.
