Heston was claimed off waivers by the Dodgers on Friday, Andy McCullough of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Heston was designated for assignment by the Mariners on Wednesday, but the Dodgers were quick to swipe him off waivers. The right-hander is a long way from his breakout season in 2015, but he has proven to be a serviceable starter in the minors this season, sporting a 3.41 ERA through six starts with Seattle's Triple-A affiliate. He'll likely act as organizational pitching depth, although he could move to the big leagues if injuries continue to plague LA's pitching staff.
