The Yankees will invite 26 non-roster players to major-league spring training, the team announced Thursday morning.

It also officially announced the signings of six players to minor-league pacts. Those players include: righty pitcher Scott Baker; infielders Cole Figueroa, Nick Noonan and Jonathan Galvez; and catchers Juan Graterol and Eddy Rodriguez.

Each of those players and 20 others who were already under contract have received invites.

Several of the Yankees' most promising prospects will be there, too. Among them, right fielder Aaron Judge, pitcher Luis Severino and first baseman Greg Bird are widely grouped with the club's top five prospects.

Reliever Jacob Lindgren, who blitzed through the Yankees minors from rookie ball to Double-A, will also be there, as will infielder Robert Refsnyder, who could compete for the starting second base job with Stephen Drew.

Voorhees Township native Andrew Bailey, a former All-Star reliever who's battled shoulder problems and hasn't pitched in the majors since 2013, was also invited.

NJ Advance Media will soon post a breakdown detailing each invitee.
