Rangers get 1B Wilkins on waiver claim from Seattle

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) The Texas Rangers have received first baseman Andy Wilkins on a waiver claim from Seattle.

Texas is the sixth organization to have Wilkins since the start of the 2015 season. But the Rangers selected him in the 25th round of the 2007 amateur draft.

Wilkins hit a combined .251 with 18 home runs and 79 RBIs in 126 games this year at the Triple-A level for Toronto and the Los Angeles Dodgers after being in spring training with the Chicago White Sox. He was later claimed and waived by Baltimore, and then by the Mariners.

In his only major league action, Wilkins hit .140 in 17 games for the White Sox in 2014.
