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.
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.
