The Chicago White Sox signed free agent third baseman Nick Senzel on Wednesday.
Financial terms of the deal were not announced.
Senzel, 29, was designated for assignment by the Washington Nationals on July 6 and released five days later. He appeared in 64 games for Washington this year, hitting .209 with 7 home runs and 18 RBIs.
In six major league seasons with the Cincinnati Reds (2019-23) and Nationals, Senzel has posted a .235 batting average across 441 games. He has 40 homers and 143 RBIs.
Chicago officially made two others moves Wednesday, designating Danny Mendick for assignment and optioning fellow third baseman Lenyn Sosa to Triple-A Charlotte.
Mendick, 30, was hitting just .197 across 47 games this season. He had 3 home runs and 8 RBIs.
The 24-year-old Sosa has hit .237 with 4 homers and 15 RBIs in 52 big league games with the White Sox in 2024.
The Athletic reported that Martin Maldonado also was designated for assignment after the catcher hit a measly .119 with 4 homers and 11 RBIs in 48 games this season.
