Dodgers signed LHP Jonathan Sanchez to a minor league contract; assigned him to Triple-A Albuquerque.

Sanchez can opt out of the deal on July 1 if he is not on Los Angeles' major league roster. The 30-year-old left-hander posted an 11.85 ERA and 2.42 WHIP in 13 2/3 innings earlier this season with the Pirates. He is doubtful to pull off a sudden turnaround. May 15 - 5:29 PM

Jonathan Sanchez - S - Dodgers

ESPN's Pedro Gomez reports that the Dodgers are set to sign left-hander Jonathan Sanchez, pending a physical.

The deal is expected to be made official by Wednesday night. Sanchez was released by the Pirates earlier this month after he posted an ugly 11.85 ERA and 15/8 K/BB ratio in 13 2/3 innings. He will function as rotation depth for the Dodgers at Triple-A Albuquerque.

Jonathan Sanchez - S - Dodgers

ESPN's Pedro Gomez reports that Jonathan Sanchez is "zeroing in" on a deal with the Dodgers.

Gomez says Sanchez "may need a few starts in the minors" before he's called up. With Zack Greinke returning Wednesday and Ted Lilly not far behind, there wouldn't appear to be a spot available in the Dodgers' rotation. He might just be stashed at Triple-A as insurance. The southpaw still needs to serve a six-game suspension for throwing at Cardinals' first baseman Allen Craig last month.

Jonathan Sanchez - S - Dodgers

Pirates released LHP Jonathan Sanchez.

Not surprisingly, Sanchez failed to draw any interest after he was designated for assignment early last week. The 30-year-old southpaw has an obscene 8.73 ERA and 60/61 K/BB ratio over 78 1/3 innings at the major league level dating back to the start of 2012.

May 8 - 2:21 PM

Jonathan Sanchez - S - Dodgers

Pirates designated LHP Jonathan Sanchez for assignment.

We figured it wouldn't be long, as Sanchez owns a miserable 11.85 ERA and 15/8 K/BB ratio in 13 2/3 innings this season and was recently suspended six games for throwing at Cardinals' first baseman Allen Craig. It's unlikely he'll draw much interest on waivers.

Apr 30 - 3:24 PM

Jonathan Sanchez - S - Dodgers

The Pirates have moved Jonathan Sanchez to the bullpen.

Sanchez owns a brutal 12.71 through four starts and is fortunate to have a roster spot at this point. The southpaw appealed his six-game suspension for throwing at Cardinals' first baseman Allen Craig during Friday's game, but there should be a decision on his status later this week. Jeanmar Gomez will take his place in the rotation Wednesday against the Brewers, but he's not a recommended option in fantasy leagues.

Jonathan Sanchez - S - Dodgers

Jonathan Sanchez has been suspended six games for hitting Allen Craig with a pitch in Friday's loss to the Cardinals.

Sanchez appeared to intentionally throw at Craig's head after allowing back-to-back home runs to Matt Carpenter and Carlos Beltran and a single to Matt Holliday to open the game. Sanchez has a brutal 12.71 ERA in four starts this season. The Pirates may dump him soon.

Jonathan Sanchez - S - Dodgers

Jonathan Sanchez was ejected from Friday's game against the Cardinals he hit Allen Craig with a pitch.

Sanchez started the game by allowing back-to-back home runs to Matt Carpenter and Carlos Beltran. He then surrendered a single to Matt Holliday before showing his frustration by drilling Craig. The southpaw now owns a horrifying 12.71 ERA on the season and may have pitched himself off the Pirates' roster.

Jonathan Sanchez - S - Dodgers

Jonathan Sanchez will remain in the Pirates' rotation for now.

Sanchez lasted just three innings Sunday and now has an 11.12 ERA for the season. While he will stay in the rotation for the time being, he's going to get the boot before long, as Francisco Liriano and others are due back from the disabled list soon.

Apr 22 - 6:19 PM

Jonathan Sanchez - S - Dodgers

Jonathan Sanchez allowed two runs on four hits and three walks over just three frames but escaped with a no-decision in Sunday's 4-2 victory over the Braves.

Sanchez struck out five, but he was wild and went into many deep counts, requiring 75 pitches to cover the three frames. The Bucs' bullpen bailed him out, but manager Clint Hurdle isn't going to put up with Sanchez and his 11.12 ERA much longer. He'll be out of a job once Francisco Liriano returns, and maybe sooner. If he's still part of the rotation, he'll face the Cardinals next weekend.

Apr 22 - 1:30 PM

Jonathan Sanchez - S - Dodgers

Jonathan Sanchez was pounded for nine runs in 3 2/3 innings by the Diamondbacks on Wednesday.

Sanchez had a decent first start versus the Dodgers, but the Diamondbacks were all over him today, collecting two homers, two doubles and four singles against him. And since it was Jonathan Sanchez, there were some walks mixed in too; four to be exact, plus a hit by pitch. Sanchez's rotation spot is safe only until the Pirates get healthier.

Apr 10 - 6:49 PM

Jonathan Sanchez - S - Dodgers

Jonathan Sanchez gave up three runs in five-plus innings Friday in a loss to the Dodgers,

Sanchez did a decent job in his Pirates debut, giving up just one run through five innings. Unfortunately, the sixth started with a walk and two doubles, getting him pulled. On the plus side, that walk was his only one of the game. If he can keep the walk rate down, he might be a decent No. 5 for the Pirates.

Apr 6 - 12:59 AM

Jonathan Sanchez - S - Dodgers

Pirates purchased the contract of LHP Jonathan Sanchez from Triple-A Indianapolis.

Sanchez was told that he had won a spot in the Pirates' starting rotation on Tuesday. He posted a brutal 8.07 ERA in 64 2/3 innings last season between the Royals and Rockies, and can be ignored in all fantasy leagues.

Mar 27 - 4:32 PM

Jonathan Sanchez - S - Dodgers

Jonathan Sanchez has won a spot in the Pirates' starting rotation.

This means that the final spot in the Pirates' rotation is down to Jeff Locke, Kyle McPherson and Jeanmar Gomez. Sanchez, a non-roster invitee, holds a 4.73 ERA and 10/9 K/BB ratio over 13 1/3 innings this spring. Given his control issues, we're not expecting him to keep a rotation spot for long.

Mar 26 - 8:54 AM

Jonathan Sanchez - S - Dodgers

Jonathan Sanchez went three innings without allowing a run or even walking a batter Friday against the Astros.

That's something. Sanchez has been effective in just two of his five appearances this spring, so he shouldn't be in the running for a spot on the Pirates. He'd be a nice guy to have stashed away in Triple-A, but he said earlier today that he wasn't interested in that possibility.

2B	1	Mark Ellis
SS	1	Hanley Ramirez

	2	Juan Uribe Sidelined Juan Uribe was scratched from Sunday's lineup with tightness in his back. It's precautionary, as Uribe is available off the bench. He should be fine to start in a day or two. Jun 16
LF	1	Carl Crawford D.L. Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said Carl Crawford's left hamstring strain is "fairly significant" and the outfielder will be out longer than 15 days. Mattingly had said previously that he didn't think Crawford would miss as much as a month, so we're probably looking at around a three-week absence. Scott Van Slyke will continue seeing the bulk of the playing time in left field while Crawford is out. Jun 6
	2	Scott Van Slyke D.L. Dodgers placed OF Scott Van Slyke on the 15-day disabled list with left shoulder bursitis. Van Slyke initially suffered the injury in late May but had been playing through it. It's poor timing for Van Slyke, as he had been slated to receive regular at-bats while Carl Crawford and Matt Kemp were out. It's not clear how long he'll be sidelined. Jun 11
	3	Jerry Hairston Jr.
CF	1	Matt Kemp D.L. Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti said on SiriusXM's MLB Network Radio on Tuesday that Matt Kemp (hamstring) is currently running at "75 percent without pain." Kemp is making progress, but there's no timetable for him to begin a rehab assignment. The Dodgers have already ruled out his return until at least June 24, but it sounds like it will come later than that. Jun 18

	3	Josh Beckett D.L. Josh Beckett said he'll undergo season-ending surgery if rest and rehab for a nerve issue in his pitching arm doesn't work. The right-hander noted that he's "absolutely" confident he'll pitch this season, but there's a level of uncertainty involved. He'll be shut down for the next four weeks before trying to throw again. If Beckett does ultimately need an operation, he expects to be ready for next season. Jun 5
	4	Chad Billingsley D.L. Dodgers transferred RHP Chad Billingsley from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. The move clears a spot for Scott Van Slyke on the 40-man roster. Billingsley had season-ending Tommy John surgery last month and will likely miss the early part of 2014. May 10
	5	Hyun-Jin Ryu
	6	Chris Capuano Sidelined Chris Capuano (lat) threw four scoreless innings in his first rehab start Friday with Triple-A Albuquerque. He allowed one hit, no walks, and had five strikeouts. Capuano, currently on the DL with a left lat strain, is expected to rejoin the Dodgers' rotation on June 19 against the Yankees. Jun 15
	7	Ted Lilly D.L. Ted Lilly received an epidural in his ailing neck on Tuesday. The Dodgers are hoping it will allow Lilly to recover from his neck sprain a little faster. At this point, the left-hander has no timetable for a return. Jun 11

	6	Scott Elbert D.L. Scott Elbert will undergo Tommy John surgery on his left elbow. Elbert had a pair of surgeries on his elbow over the offseason, but obviously neither of them wound up working. The Dodgers are giving him a 12-16 month timetable, so it's possible he could miss all of 2014, as well. Jun 5
	7	Paco Rodriguez
	8	Shawn Tolleson D.L. Shawn Tolleson (back) has been cleared to play catch. Tolleson underwent surgery in late April to repair a back injury. The reliever is hoping to be available for the Dodgers' bullpen by early August. Jun 7

	10	Chris Withrow
