He hit .167 with three home runs in 34 games at Triple-A this year. At 28 years old, he may struggle to latch on elsewhere.

Fontana spent most of the 2018 campaign with Triple-A Salt Lake, hitting .234/.397/.414 in 45 games. He also saw some brief action with the Angels, though he hit just .091/.167/.364 in 12 plate appearances. Fontana figures to serve as organizational infield depth for the Rangers.

Fontana appeared in just eight games for the Angels this season, going 1-for-11 with a walk and a homer. He was cut loose to free up a spot on the 40-man roster for Joe Hudson, whose contract was purchased from the minors on Tuesday.

Fontana only spent one day with the Angels during his most recent appearance in the big leagues. The infielder will return to the minors for the time being, though it's likely he will continue to get shipped back and forth between the two levels in order to provide extra depth.
