Nuno has signed a minor-league contract with the Dodgers and will report to Triple-A Oklahoma City. Nuno last pitched in the majors with the Rays in 2018, posting a 1.64 ERA and 1.03 WHIP across 33 relief innings. Despite that success three years ago, Nuno failed to crack a big-league roster during the past two-plus seasons. The 33-year-old will report to Oklahoma City, where he'll look to progress towards a major-league call-up at some point this summer.

Nuno signed a minor-league contract with the Rays on Monday, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports. Nuno was cut loose by the Nationals one week ago, but it didn't take him long to find a new home. He'll report to Triple-A Durham after accruing a 7.25 ERA and 1.76 WHIP with a 25:12 K:BB over 22.1 frames while with Triple-A Fresno earlier in the year.

Nuno did not opt out of his contract after being assigned to Triple-A Fresno, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports. Nuno has a second opt-out on June 15 if he remains off the 25-man roster. That could give him a better chance at a promotion than most players who aren't on the 40-man roster.

Nuno was told Saturday that he won't make the Opening Day roster, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports. Nuno was in the mix for a bullpen spot but will lose out despite a solid spring in which he recorded a 3.18 ERA with a 6:1 K:BB in 5.2 innings. The veteran can elect to opt out rather than head to the minors, so his destination for the start of the season remains unknown.
