Josh Hamilton was working out at Globe Life Park on Tuesday morning after agreeing to a minor-league deal with the Texas Rangers.
The Rangers also signed right-hander Dillon Gee, a Cleburne native who lives in Fort Worth, to a minor-league deal. Both were invited to spring training.
Hamilton has an opportunity to earn a job as a reserve outfielder after missing all of last season because of a knee injury that resulted in reconstructive surgery.
The Rangers evaluated him last month, at which point the deal became a formality. Hamilton has understood since last summer that if he would be back with the Rangers, it would be on a minor-league deal.
