Salazar signed a minor-league contract with the Dodgers on Thursday.
Salazar posted an 8.03 ERA in eight appearances for the Reds and a 6.65 ERA in 36 appearances in the minors in 2023. The Dodgers see something in him, though, which often can be a good sign. He figures to begin the 2024 season at Triple-A Oklahoma City.
