Johnson did what he could to stick around this spring, hitting .308 with an on-base percentage of .400. He'll look to latch on with a new team on a minor-league deal.

Johnson sat out the 2018 season and last saw action for Triple-A Norfolk with the Orioles in 2017, where he slashed .301/.330/.506 in 62 games. The 34-year-old has struggled to find a place in the majors since 2015, as he had a .617 OPS in 196 games between the Braves, Indians and Marlins over his final two seasons. The deal doesn't include an invite to major-league spring training, as the veteran corner infielder should serve as organizational depth for the White Sox.

Johnson underwent surgery in April to repair a broken ulna bone in his forearm, but has looked good in seven rehab games with High-A Aberdeen and appears ready to return to Triple-A Norfolk. The 32-year-old resigned with the Orioles on a minor-league deal this offseason and will continue serving as organizational depth.

The plan is for Johnson to spend 7-to-8 days with the IronBirds before returning to Triple-A Norfolk. The veteran infielder has been sidelined since April 9, but it seems like a return to action is on the horizon barring any extraneous circumstances.
