According to Diamond Leung, the Dodgers have signed infielder Ramon Nivar to a minor-league deal and assigned him to Double-A Chattanooga.
The 29-year-old Nivar hasn't appeared in the majors since 2005, last with the Orioles. Like quite a few former major-leaguers, Nivar was playing for the independent-league Newark Bears this season, where he posted a .331 average and .810 OPS in 127 at-bats.
