Veteran outfielder Brian Giles has signed a minor league contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The Dodgers said Sunday that Giles has been invited to big league camp.

A career .291 hitter, Giles batted just .191 in 61 games last season with the San Diego Padres. The 39-year-old Giles did not play after going on the disabled list June 19 with a bruised right knee.
