The Chicago White Sox signed veteran outfielder Kevin Pillar to a major-league contract on Sunday, two days after they released him.
Right-hander Touki Toussaint was designated for assignment in a corresponding move by the White Sox.
Pillar is expected to serve as depth in the outfield behind Luis Robert Jr., Andrew Benintendi and Dominic Fletcher. Pillar batted .250 with five RBIs in 18 games in spring training before he was released by Chicago.
He was penciled into Sunday's starting lineup in the spring training finale against the Colorado Rockies, batting leadoff and playing right field.
Pillar, 35, batted .228 with nine homers and 32 RBIs in 81 games last season with the Atlanta Braves.
He is a career .257 hitter with 106 homers and 423 RBIs in 1,114 games with the Toronto Blue Jays, San Francisco Giants, Boston Red Sox, Colorado Rockies, New York Mets, Los Angeles Dodgers and Braves.
Toussaint, 27, posted a 4-7 record with a 4.97 ERA in 20 games (16 starts) split between the Cleveland Guardians and White Sox last season.
He is 14-14 with a 5.21 ERA in 77 career games (39 starts) with the Braves, Los Angeles Angels, Guardians and White Sox.
