The White Sox requested unconditional release waivers for Alberto on Sunday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
The 30-year-old was designated for assignment by Chicago on Friday and won't be sticking around the organization. Alberto joined the club on a one-year deal in January and had a .220/.261/.390 slash line in 90 plate appearances.

White Sox's Hanser Alberto: Designated for assignment
Rotowire
Alberto was designated for assignment by the White Sox on Friday.
Alberto played a decent amount through the first part of the season due to injuries around the White Sox infield, but he missed some time himself and has produced just a .652 OPS. The veteran infielder will now go through the waiver process, and it's possible there will be some interest from a club in need of some defensive versatility.

Rotowire
Alberto will start at third base and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Tigers.
Though he appears to be healthy again after recently overcoming a shoulder injury, Alberto may no longer be viewed as the primary replacement at second base for the injured Elvis Andrus (oblique). After sitting out Saturday's 7-3 loss, Alberto will pick up a start at the hot corner Sunday for a resting Yoan Moncada while Romy Gonzalez nabs another start at the keystone.

White Sox's Hanser Alberto: Filling in at second base
Rotowire
Alberto will start at second base and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Astros, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.
Alberto's run as a regular at third base came to an end Friday when Yoan Moncada returned from the injured list, but the 30-year-old utility man now appears set for steady playing time at the keystone after Elvis Andrus (oblique) went on the IL on Saturday. Alberto will make his second straight start at second base after going 1-for-4 with two strikeouts in Saturday's 3-1 win.
Alberto went 4-for-4 with a home run, two doubles, four RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Sunday's victory over the Reds.
Alberto led the charge in Sunday's 17-run explosion by the White Sox. He kicked things off with a two-run shot in the second inning followed by a pair of RBI doubles later in the game. His season OPS jumped from .600 to .903 through 40 plate appearances with the huge performance. Yoan Moncada (back) appears to be nearing a return, which will cut into Alberto's playing time.

White Sox's Hanser Alberto: Claims regular role at third base
Rotowire
Alberto went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Saturday against the Reds.
Alberto took Nick Lodolo yard in the second inning to tally his second homer of the season. With both Yoan Moncada (back) and Jake Burger (oblique) out, Alberto should have a regular role at third base in the short term. He isn't likely to make a significant fantasy impact, as he has never posted a wRC+ above 100 in any of his big-league seasons.
