The Texas Rangers have signed right-hander Cal Quantrill (Port Hope, Ont.) to a minor league contract.

The Rangers informed reporters of the deal on Tuesday.

The 30-year-old Canuck will join the Rangers’ organization just five days after being released by the Atlanta Braves.

He’ll provide starting pitching depth for the Rangers whose rotation has been hit hard by injuries. Right-handers Nathan Eovaldi and Jon Gray are both out for the season and Tyler Mahle is attempting to work his work back from a shoulder injury.

Despite the injuries, the Rangers are 76-70 and just a game-and-a-half out of an American League Wild-Card spot.

The Rangers will be Quantrill’s third big league organization this season. He started the campaign with the Miami Marlins.

The Ontario Terriers and Junior National Team alum struggled in his two starts for the Braves in August, allowing 12 runs in eight innings, after being claimed off waivers from the Marlins on August 21.

In 24 starts with the Marlins earlier this season, Quantrill was 4-10 with a 5.50 ERA.

He signed a one-year, $3.5-million contract with the Marlins in February.

In all, Quantrill has toed the rubber in seven big-league seasons with the San Diego Padres, Cleveland Guardians, Colorado Rockies, Marlins and Braves. He is 47-46 with a 4.35 ERA in 187 appearances (149 starts).
