The Los Angeles Dodgers signed right-handed pitcher Jose Urena on Tuesday.

Los Angeles also optioned right-hander Will Klein -- whom it had acquired from the Seattle Mariners the day before -- and designated catcher Chuckie Robinson for assignment.

Urena, 33, has no decisions and a 5.87 ERA in seven games (two starts) this season with the New York Mets and Toronto Blue Jays. Toronto designated the veteran for assignment on Saturday.

Urena is 44-77 with a 4.78 ERA and six saves in 239 career games (154 starts) with eight teams over 11 seasons.

Klein, 25, has eight career major league appearances, all last season for the Kansas City Royals and Oakland Athletics, when he had an 11.05 ERA in 7 1/3 innings of relief. He had a 7.17 ERA in 22 appearances at Triple-A Tacoma this season.

Robinson, 30, did not appear for the Dodgers after they selected him off waivers from the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday. He last appeared in the majors for the Chicago White Sox in 2024 and is a .132 hitter in 51 career games.
