In two separate transactions Saturday morning, the Dodgers signed veteran lefty reliever Sean Burnett to a minor league deal, while placing outfielder Carl Crawford on the 15-day disabled list with a sore lower back.

Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports was first to report the Burnett deal, which apparently gives the southpaw the right to opt out if he’s not added to the major league roster by May 1.
