Dodgers signed infielder Pablo Ozuna to a one-year contract.

 

Ozuna isn't much of a shortstop, so he's unlikely to spell Nomar Garciaparra. He will get a chance to pinch-hit and replace Jeff Kent late in games for defense. He shouldn't have any fantasy value.

Ken Gurnick from MLB.com writes that the Dodgers signed veteran utility player Pablo Ozuna today. The White Sox designated Ozuna for assignment on July 8 to make room for Paul Konerko when he returned from the DL. He elected to become a free agent after clearing waivers. Ozuna had posted a mediocre line of .281/.313/.328 in 69 plate appearances for the White Sox this year.

 

Luis Maza was designated for assignment to make room for Ozuna, Gurnick writes. Maza was called up as a quick shortstop fix earlier in the year, but had posted an abyssmal .228/.278/.282 line through 79 ABs with the Dodgers.

 

Manager Joe Torre refers to Ozuna as a "safety net" at three positions, and also expects the Dodgers to continue to be active over the next 10 days:

 

"I know Ned [Colletti, general manager] is on the phone, trying to make our club better," Torre said. "Chances are, we'll be active. Having said that, we're trying."
