The Chicago White Sox have agreed to a contract with veteran infielder Orlando Hudson for the rest of the season and put third baseman Brent Morel on the 15-day disabled list because of a lower back strain.

The team announced the moves before Tuesday night's game against Minnesota.

Manager Robin Ventura had said Sunday that Hudson was on his way after being waived by San Diego and that Morel would likely wind up on the DL.

A two-time NL All-Star and four-time Gold Glove second baseman, Hudson will probably see time at third even though he has never played there in the majors. The White Sox will be his sixth team in 11 seasons.

Morel ranks third among AL third basemen in fielding percentage (.962).
