Sellers was traded to the White Sox on Thursday for a player to be named later or cash considerations and has been assigned to Triple-A Charlotte, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Sellers has not appeared in a major league game this season, but the versatile infielder posted a .288/.339/.308 slash line across three minor league levels this season. He will take the Micah Johnson's spot on the Triple-A Charlotte roster after Johnson was placed on the disabled list earlier on Thursday.

Sellers (Achilles) was activated from the 60-day DL on Sunday and outrighted to Triple-A Indianapolis, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.
Even with the Pirates still short on infield help following the recent acquisition of Aramis Ramirez, Sellers, who had been rehabbing the Achilles injury in the minors, wasn't viewed as a viable solution for the big club. Sellers moved his rehab assignment to Indianapolis on Saturday and will likely remain there for the rest of the season as organizational depth.
Tue May 19 201515:02Sellers (Achilles) placed on 60-day disabled list Tuesday
Sellers (Achilles) was placed on the 60-day disabled list Tuesday, Bill Brink of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
The move makes room for Jose Tabata to join the 40-man roster, with the Pirates having a much greater need in the outfield than in the infield. Sellers started rehabbing from an Achilles injury in late April, but he hasn't played in a minor league game in more than three weeks. Once healthy, he won't necessarily have a spot on the big-league roster.

Sellers (Achilles) will begin a rehab stint with Triple-A Indianapolis this weekend, the Pittsburgh Tribune's Rob Biertempfel reports.
With Sean Rodriguez and Jung-Ho Kang in the mix as utility infield options, it's not clear if Sellers will have a spot on the 25-man roster when he inevitably gets activated in the coming days/weeks. One way or another he will serve as organizational depth for the rest of the season, and would likely need an injury or two to see significant playing time at the big league level.
Sun Apr 5 201515:54Sellers (Achilles) placed on 15-day disabled list Sunday
Sellers (Achilles) was placed on the 15-day disabled list Sunday, Stephen J. Nesbitt of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Sellers had been hoping to earn one of the final spots on the Opening Day roster, and while an Achilles injury kept him from having any chance, it's possible the Pirates will have room by the time he's ready to return.
Thu Apr 2 201510:51Sellers (Achilles) expected to open season on disabled list
Sellers (Achilles) is expected to open the season on the disabled list, Bill Brink of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Sellers was competing for one of the final utility spots on the Pittsburgh roster, but the recent injury will severely damage his chances of accomplishing that goal. He hasn't seen the field for a spring game since March 10, and is just 1-for-9 at this dish in Grapefruit League action.

The Pirates have acquired Sellers from the Indians for cash considerations.
The move puts the Indians' 40-man roster at 38 players, while it offers the Pirates a potential utility option capable of competing for one of the final spots on the bench during spring training.
Fri Sep 5 201415:04Sellers recalled from Triple-A Columbus on Friday
Sellers was recalled from Triple-A Columbus on Friday.
Aside from a brief stay with the big club in late May, Sellers has spent the year at Columbus, batting .254/.307/.335 with three homers and three steals in 102 games. The 28-year-old will be up to fill a utility infield role, but his opportunities will remain limited, and the lack of power or speed will make him unappealing in daily formats even if he does get an occasional start.

Nothing official yet from the team. Sellers is hitting .227 with .593 OPS through 37 games in the minors this year and owns a .199/.278/.301 batting line over 266 plate appearances in the majors. He's not a fantasy option.

Sun Mar 2 201411:31Justin Sellers acquired by Indians
Indians acquired SS Justin Sellers from the Dodgers for cash considerations.
Sellers had been designated for assignment in order to clear room for Erisbel Arruebarrena. The 28-year-old has a good glove but is a career .199/.278/.301 hitter over 82 big league games. He's unlikely to crack the Indians' Opening Day roster.
