The Cubs re-signed Carlson to a minor-league contract Saturday. Carlson elected free agency after being removed from the Cubs' 40-man roster but he wound up re-signing on a minor-league pact shortly after. The switch-hitting outfielder went hitless in four plate appearances during his brief stint in the majors. Carlson will provide the organization with some experienced outfield depth at Triple-A Iowa.

Dylan Carlson: Breaking News
Elects free agency
Carlson elected to become a free agent Wednesday, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports. Carlson cleared waivers after being designated for assignment by the Cubs over the weekend, but he's decided to test out free agency rather than accept an outright assignment. The switch-hitting outfielder will now seek employment in a new organization.
Clears waivers
The Cubs outrighted Carlson to Triple-A Iowa on Sunday. While attending spring training as a non-roster invitee, Carlson made enough of an impression to break camp with the big club, but his stay with Chicago lasted just two weeks into the season. Carlson appeared in just three games and went 0-for-4 with a run scored before he was designated for assignment Friday in order to clear a spot for Seiya Suzuki to return from the injured list. The 27-year-old outfielder appears set to stick around in the Cubs organization, but he'll face an uphill battle to make it back to the big leagues now that he no longer possesses a spot on the 40-man roster.
