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.

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 Wednesday. 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 with Triple-A Albuquerque.

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.

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.

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.

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

Sanchez intentionally threw at Craig after allowing back-to-back home runs to Matt Carpenter and Carlos Beltran and a single to Matt Holliday to open the game. Already barely holding on to his roster spot, Sanchez is a now a candidate to be demoted from the Pirates' rotation. He has a brutal 12.71 ERA in four starts this season.
