To give the club some depth at Triple-A Round Rock in the infield, the Rangers have signed Luis Cruz to a minor league contract.

Cruz, who played in Wendesday'a game in Round Rock, has played in 56 major league games for Pittsburgh and most recently Milwaukee. He signed a major league deal with the Brewers, but was outrighted off the 40-man roster earlier this week and elected to become a free agent.

He's 27 and has played every position but pitcher, catcher and first base in his professional career.
