The Rangers claimed catcher Konrad Schmidt off waivers from the Diamondbacks, the club announced Wednesday.

Schmidt, 28, has played just eight major-league games, notching one hit in 15 at-bats. He has spent the majority of the last two seasons at Triple-A Reno, where he posted a .282/.336/.432 line in 190 games.
