GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The Chicago White Sox released infielder Mike Moustakas and outfielder Kevin Pillar on Friday.

Both were in camp on minor league deals. The moves increase the likelihood of Gavin Sheets making the team's opening-day roster.

The 35-year-old Moustakas hit .247 with 12 homers and 48 RBI in 112 games with Colorado and the Los Angeles Angels last year. He batted .195 (8 for 41) with the White Sox during spring training.

The 35-year-old Pillar played for Atlanta last year, hitting .228 with nine homers and 32 RBI in 81 games.
