The Los Angeles Dodgers have acquired Juan Nicasio from the Colorado Rockies for a player to be named or cash.

Los Angeles continues to stockpile young, inexpensive pitchers to compete this spring to be the team's fifth starter or an extra bullpen arm.

Nicasio, 28, went 6-6 with a 5.38 ERA for the Rockies last season pitching in both relief and as a starter.
