The Yankees have invited three more minor league pitchers to the organization’s major league spring training: J.B. Cox, George Kontos and Kanekoa Texeira.

Cox pitched for most of 2008 with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre, with short stints at Double-A Trenton and Single-A Tampa. Kontos spent 2008 with Trenton, and Texeira came to the Yankees in the Nick Swisher trade earlier this offseason.
