The Cubs announced last week that Adduci has been hired as the organization's run production coordinator, signaling the end of his playing career, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports. Adduci's last MLB action came in 2019, but he was part of the Rangers' 60-man roster pool during the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign. Rather than having to settle for a minor-league contract this winter and a likely assignment to a Triple-A affiliate in 2021, the 35-year-old outfielder has instead decide to hang up his cleats. Over parts of five seasons in the majors with the Rangers, Tigers and Cubs, Adduci slashed .232/.283/.336 across 431 plate appearances.

Adduci agreed to a minor-league deal with the Rangers on Thursday, Andersen Pickard of MLBDailyDish.com reports. Adduci spent the 2019 season in the Cubs' organization and did earn five plate appearances in the major leagues. However, he spent the majority of the campaign with Triple-A Iowa. A similar outcome is likely for Adduci this season, as he was assigned to Triple-A Nashville upon agreeing to terms with Texas.
-
Adduci cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday. There were unsurprisingly no takers for a 34-year-old with a career 67 wRC+. Adduci will remain organizational depth for Chicago.
-
Adduci was designated for assignment Monday. Adduci spent a week with the Cubs, going 0-for-5 with three strikeouts. He'll make way on the roster for Carlos Gonzalez.

Adduci is starting in right field and batting fifth in Monday's game against the Astros. Adduci was just called up from Triple-A Iowa earlier in the day, as the Cubs wanted to add an extra bat to the roster with the use of the designated hitter in Houston. The team is also resting Kris Bryant and Jason Heyward, who collided in Sunday's game. Adduci has 426 career MLB plate appearances and spent the last two seasons in Detroit.
