Pastornicky has signed a Triple-A deal with the Rangers, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports. Pastornicky is a depth signing for the Rangers and carries no real value at this point. He's triple-slashed .200/.304/.250 in his three-year career with two home runs and two stolen bases. There's a chance he sees major league time due to injuries.

Pastornicky was released by the Braves on Thursday, David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. Pastornicky, who appeared in 28 games for Atlanta last season, was in minor league camp with Triple-A Gwinnett. The organization apparently decided to part ways with the infielder after he hit only .200 in 47 plate appearances. He did experience considerably more success at the Triple-A level, however, slashing .290/.330/.347 with 17 RBI in 189 plate appearances in 2014.

Pastornicky was outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday, Mark Bowman of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. The middle infielder cleared waivers after he was designated for assignment last week. Look for the 25-year-old Pastornicky to open 2015 at Gwinnett, where he batted .290/.330/.347 over 189 plate appearances last season.

Pastornicky missed a second straight start Monday due to soreness in his left calf, but he took batting practice, fielded groundballs and did some running before the game.
