Trejo signed a minor-league contract with the Dodgers on Tuesday and was assigned to Triple-A Oklahoma City, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Trejo cleared waivers Saturday and elected to become a free agent.
Trejo was jettisoned from the Rockies' 40-man roster Friday to make room for Aaron Schunk, and he'll now look for another opportunity elsewhere after passing through waivers unclaimed.

Rotowire
The Rockies designated Trejo for assignment Friday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
