Hassan signed a minor league deal with the Blue Jays on Wednesday.
He will report to extended spring training on Thursday, but considering he has already changed hands four times this season, it's hard to look too far into Hassan's future for fantasy value. Hassan offers organizational outfield depth for the Blue Jays for now.

Hassan was released by the A's on Tuesday, Jane Lee of MLB.com reports.
Hassan had been DFA'd three times already this season, and it appears the A's are ready to move on after claiming the outfielder off waivers twice - once in April and once earlier this month. The 27-year-old made three major league appearances for Boston last season, going 1-for-8 at the dish with a walk and five strikeouts.

Hassan has been designated for assignment yet again, the San Francisco Chronicle's Susan Slusser reports.
This is the third time he has been designated for assignment this season, and if the past couple months have taught us anything, it is that another team will claim him off waivers in the coming days.

Hassan was claimed off waivers by Oakland on Saturday, the Boston Globe's Pete Abraham reports.
This will be his second stint in the A's organization this season, as he continues to get designated for assignment and subsequently claimed off waivers. The A's don't have much room in their outfield at the moment so Hassan will just provide organizational depth.

Hassan was designated for assignment Wednesday.
This opens up a 40-man spot for Kyle Blanks, who was recalled to play first base with Mitch Moreland on the DL. Hassan will go through the waivers process and will likely end up at Triple-A Round Rock.

Hassan was claimed off waivers by the Rangers on Thursday.
He was designated for assignment by the A's on Wednesday and the Rangers scooped him up due to their lack of quality organizational outfield depth. Hassan will be sent to Triple-A Round Rock, but could conceivably get a call-up to the big league roster sometime in the first half of the season. Matt Harrison was moved to the 60-day DL as a corresponding move to make room on the 40-man roster.

Hassan was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Sunday.
Hassan stood little chance of making the roster heading into camp, and he will now return to Triple-A, where he hit .287/.378/.426 with eight home runs and 55 RBI in 114 as part of the Red Sox's organization last season.

Hassan (hamstring) was given the start in Saturday's game, the Bay Area News Group's John Hickey reports.
It sounds like he is finally healthy enough to take the field in games, so his status for the start of the season is looking positive. If he is able to make the team out of camp, his role will likely be minimal, or he could start the year with the A's and then get sent to the minor leagues once Coco Crisp or Josh Reddick is healthy.

Hassan (hamstring) continued to take part in on-field workouts Monday and he has increased his running, the San Francisco Chronicle's Susan Slusser reports.
We are still waiting for Hassan to get back into game action as he recovers from a hamstring injury. Consider him day-to-day for now.

Hassan (hamstring) took some swings and took part in the team workout Wednesday, the Bay Area News Group's John Hickey reports.
Oakland is hopeful to get Hassan back playing in games in the near future, and he probably needs to get back and impress in a week of games before camp breaks if he hopes to make the team as a bench bat.
