Voit was part of the Milwaukee Brewers team, but was released nine days ago.

The 32-year-old hit .221 with a .284 on-base percentage, .265 slugging percentage, zero homers and four RBIs in 22 games with Milwaukee, which forced the Brewers to release him on May 29. He had just three extra-base hits, all doubles, in 74 plate appearances.

Voit’s last game for the Brewers was on May 13, when he was sidelined with neck injury .

He batted .226 with a .308 on-base percentage, 22 homers and 69 RBIs in 135 games with the San Diego Padres and Washington Nationals last season. After earning $5.45 million last year, he agreed to a minor league contract with the Brewers and opted out of it before signing a $2 million, one-year deal just before the start of the season.
