Walsh signed a minor-league contract with the White Sox on Tuesday, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports. Walsh elected free agency after being removed from the Rangers' 40-man roster earlier this month. The 30-year-old hit just .226/.317/.321 with one home run through 60 plate appearances with Texas. He'll go to extended spring training for now before eventually reporting to Triple-A Charlotte, where he'll give the White Sox some veteran protection at first base.

Walsh cleared waivers Wednesday and elected to become a free agent. Walsh was designated for assignment by the Rangers on Saturday to make room for Nathaniel Lowe's return from the IL, and the 30-year-old first baseman will now take his chances on the open market. He is slashing .226/.317/.321 with a home and seven RBI through 60 plate appearances on the year and should be able to at least secure a minor-league deal with another organization.

The Rangers designated Walsh for assignment Saturday. Walsh will lose his spot on the roster with Nathaniel Lowe (oblique) returning from the injured list Saturday. The 30-year-old slashed .226/.317/.321 across 60 plate appearances during his time with Texas and could attract interest on the waiver wire from any team in need of help at first base.
