White Sox sign first baseman Jared Walsh to minor league deal

The White Sox signed former All-Star Jared Walsh to a minor league contract Tuesday and sent the left-handed hitting first baseman to Arizona to prep for an assignment with Triple-A Charlotte. Walsh was designated for assignment by the Rangers on April 20, and after clearing waivers elected free agency. Walsh, 30, has batted .200/.263/.352 with 20 homers in 169 games since the start of the 2022 season. In August of that year, Walsh was shut down and underwent surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome.
