Granite signed a minor-league contract with the White Sox on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
A fourth or fifth outfielder if everything breaks right, Granite has elite speed but has been unable to hit enough at the upper levels to stick around on a big-league roster. He should open the year at Triple-A in May.

Granite was optioned to the Yankees' alternate training site Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Granite signed with the Yankees last November on a minor-league deal, but he was never in serious contention for a spot on the team's initial 30-man big-league roster. The 27-year-old does have major-league experience, so he could be an option at some point this season if the Yankees need to fill a spot in the outfield.

Granite will take part in summer camp as part of the Yankees' 60-man player pool.
EDGE Analysis
Granite signed a minor-league deal with the Yankees in November after slashing .290/.331/.375 with 25 stolen bases for Triple-A Nashville in the Rangers' organization last season. The 27-year-old has not logged a major-league at-bat since playing in 40 games with the Twins in 2017.

Granite signed a minor-league deal with the Yankees on Friday, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Granite will receive an invitation to major-league spring training, though he's not particularly likely to make the team. The 27-year-old has played just 40 career games at the highest level, all in 2017 with the Twins, hitting .237/.321/.290.

Granite was recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Granite will provide additional outfield depth for the Rangers while Joey Gallo contends with what is considered to be a minor wrist injury. Prior to earning a promotion, Granite was hitting .291/.325/.362 with one homer and 12 stolen bases in 48 games for Triple-A Nashville. Kyle Bird was returned to Nashville in a corresponding roster move.

Granite was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Joey Gallo (groin) trending towards being ready for the start of the season, Granite will open the season in the minors. The 26-year-old, who hit .240/.269/.360 with five stolen bases in 12 games this spring, should be one of the first players called upon should an opening arise in Texas' outfield.

Granite is 6-for-15 and perfect on four stolen-base attempts since being acquired from the Twins, Gerry Fraley of the Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Granite is still in camp and provides insurance until the Rangers get a read on Joey Gallo (groin) who is expected to take at-bats in a minor-league game Friday. The 26-year-old outfielder can run some and plays plus defense and is expected to open the year at Triple-A Nashville.

Granite was acquired by the Rangers from the Twins on Sunday for minor-league pitcher Xavier Moore and cash, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Granite was designated for assignment when the Twins signed Marwin Gonzalez, and the Rangers opted to acquire him via trade rather than risk the waiver claim. The 26-year-old made his MLB debut in 2018 and slashed .237/.321/.290 in 107 plate appearances, and should have an outside chance to earn a spot on the Opening Day roster with Texas.
