Dodgers signed RHP Ryan Tucker to a minor league contract. Tucker made five appearances with the Rangers in 2011, but spent the majority of the year with Triple-A Round Rock, posting a 5.40 ERA and 64/31 K/BB ratio over 68 1/3 innings. The 25-year-old right-hander is unlikely to secure a roster spot during spring training.
