Bibens-Dirkx will give the Dodgers someone capable of starting or relieving at Triple-A Oklahoma City. The 36-year-old hasn't seen any action in the majors since 2018.

Bibens-Dirkx rejoined the Rangers organization late last year after a stay in Taiwan with the Uni-President Lions of the Chinese Professional Baseball League. The 35-year-old right-hander holds a career 5.27 ERA in 114 1/3 innings at the MLB level.

Bibens-Dirkx signed a contract with the Uni-President Lions of the Chinese Professional Baseball League during the offseason, but he has decided to return stateside and rejoin his former club. Bibens-Dirkx started six games for the Rangers in both of the last two seasons, so he should garner consideration if the club decides to add a starter from the minor-league ranks.

Bibens-Dirkx confirmed the signing on his Instagram account, along with the news that he and his wife are expecting a child. He underwent offseason knee surgery, but that has not impacted his offseason throwing program -- he's posted a few videos of him throwing to his Instagram page. The 33-year-old right-hander spent more than a decade in the minor leagues before making his MLB debut for the Rangers in 2017. In 52 appearances (12 starts) with Texas, Bibens-Dirkx went 7-5 with a 5.27 ERA over 114.1 innings.
