Harris opted out of his minor-league contract and was granted his released by the White Sox on Thursday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
Rather than adding him to the major-league roster, Chicago elected to part ways with Harris. The 26-year-old was DFA'd by Chicago in April and subsequently claimed off waivers by the Astros before being designated for assignment by Houston less than a month later. He quickly re-signed with the White Sox on a minor-league deal in May and slashed .312/.396/.490 with six homers, 26 RBI, 32 runs scored, nine stolen bases and a 19:35 BB:K across 183 trips to the plate with Triple-A Charlotte. Harris will now look for an opportunity elsewhere.
