Figgins will be released by the Dodgers. Figgins was designated for assignment Wednesday after returning from the disabled list. The 36-year-old utility man hit just .217/.373/.267 over 38 games with the Dodgers this season, and will now look for work elsewhere.

The Dodgers designated Figgins (hip) for assignment Wednesday, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports. A left quad strain put Figgins on the shelf in mid-June, and he didn't show enough during his 19-game rehab assignment to warrant a return to the active roster. The Dodgers essentially released Figgins on Wednesday, as the 11-year veteran seems likely to refuse an outright assignment to the minors and elect free agency. He hit just .217/.373/.267 in 38 games with the major league club.

Figgins (hip) will either need to be called up by the Dodgers on Wednesday, or he will need to be designated for assignment, True Blue L.A.'s Eric Stephen reports.

Chone Figgins (hip) fielded grounders and took batting practice from both sides of the plate on Thursday. The Dodgers haven't mapped out Figgins' rehab assignment yet, but it's expected to come soon. Manager Don Mattingly also revealed that Figgins is dealing with a left hip flexor strain rather than the quad strain that was originally reported.

Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said Tuesday that Chone Figgins (quad) is "still a ways away" from a return. Figgins has already missed two and a half weeks and it doesn't sound like he'll be back before the All-Star break. "That quad is an injury that's one of the bigger muscles in the leg, and he's going to be a little bit still," Mattingly said.

Dodgers placed UTIL Chone Figgins on the 15-day disabled list with a quadriceps strain. Carlos Triunfel was called up in a corresponding roster move. Figgins has been a disappointment again in 2014, batting just .217 with a .640 OPS in 38 games. He probably won't be ready to return until July.

Dodgers recalled INF/OF Chone Figgins from Triple-A Albuquerque. Figgins spent the first few weeks of the season with the big club but was sent down after receiving just six at-bats. He'll resume a utility role.
