Figueroa, a Brooklyn native, has spent time with Arizona, Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, the New York Mets and Houston since his debut in 2000. He went 0-3 with an 8.69 ERA in eight games (five starts) with the Astros last season.
The 37-year-old journeyman owns a career 4.55 ERA with a record of 20-35.
