ARLINGTON, Texas - The Texas Rangers have signed right-hander Kyle Lohse to a minor league contract.

Lohse, 37, was assigned to Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday and is expected to make his first start within a few days.

Lohse went 5-13 with a 5.85 ERA for the Milwaukee Brewers last year in his 15th major league season.

Lohse led the major leagues in winning percentage when he went 16-3 with the St. Louis Cardinals in 2012 and also led the National League with 33 starts.

Lohse did not attend spring training this year with any team.
