Chicago ? Jose Canseco’s quest for 500 homers brought him back to the Chicago White Sox. Canseco, who needs 38 homers to reach 500 in his career, agreed to terms Thursday on a minor league contract with the White Sox. He’ll report to Triple-A Charlotte and be activated in time for the Knights home game Tuesday.

“Jose still has a desire to play, and we told him last fall that we would have a place for him in our minor league system if he needed it,” White Sox general manager Kenny Williams said. “He will have a chance to play himself back into shape in Charlotte and then we will see where things go from there.”

Canseco, 37, signed with the White Sox last June and hit .258 with 16 home runs and 49 RBIs in 256 at-bats. He played 76 games, almost all of them as a DH.
