Dodgers' Cole Figueroa: Claimed by Dodgers

Figueroa was claimed by the Dodgers on Tuesday and optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City, SB Nation's Eric Stephen reports.

The veteran infielder was recently DFA'd by the Pirates on Friday, but it did not take long for a team to pick him up. The Dodgers swooped in to pick up Figueroa, who can play multiple spots around the infield. Figueroa will start his time with the Dodgers' organization at Triple-A, but he could eventually get promoted should the Dodgers suffer an injury at either second or third base.
