SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) — Veteran reliever JT Chargois agreed to a minor league deal with the Texas Rangers before their first workout of spring training Wednesday.

The 34-year-old right-hander split last season between Miami and Seattle, going 3-1 with a 2.23 ERA in 36 games — 15 for the Marlins before 21 for the Mariners after a deadline trade. He began last year on the injured list because of neck spasms and didn't make his season debut until June 12.

Chargois has a career 3.35 ERA with a 16-7 record over 244 big league games with Minnesota, the Los Angeles Dodgers, Seattle, Tampa Bay and Miami. He made his MLB debut with the Twins in 2016.
