LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The Los Angeles Dodgers claimed right-hander Craig House off waivers from the New York Mets on Tuesday and placed him on their 40-man roster.
The 24-year-old House was traded to the Mets last month from the Colorado Rockies as part of a three-team deal with Milwaukee.
House pitched for Triple-A Colorado Springs last season, going 2-2 with six saves and a 4.45 ERA in 54 games. He struck out 62 batters in 58 1-3 innings, and has 180 strikeouts in 139 career innings in the minor leagues.
House appeared in 16 games for Colorado in the 2000 season, going 1-1 with a 7.24 ERA in 13 2-3 innings. He was drafted by the Rockies in the 12th round of the June 1999 free-agent draft.
The Dodgers had 39 players on their 40-man roster before the move.
