Shortstop Elvis Andrus has signed with the Chicago White Sox for the remainder of the season, the team announced Friday.
Andrus, who was released by the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday, cleared waivers and will join the White Sox in Cleveland.
The White Sox, who are currently without All-Star shortstop Tim Anderson following finger surgery, placed infielder/outfielder Leury Garcia on the 10-day injured list Wednesday because of a strained lower back. Garcia had been splitting time with rookie Lenyn Sosa at shortstop in Anderson's absence.
Sosa was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday to make room for Andrus.
