The veteran righthander was assigned to Class-AAA Omaha in the Pacific Coast League. The 30-year-old Lima was with the Newark Bears of the independent Atlantic League. He made eight starts for the Bears and posted a 6-1 record and 2.33 ERA with a league-high 52 strikeouts. "I really loved my time here in Newark," Lima said.

They treated me so well and I will miss them." The native of the Dominican Republic has appeared in 262 major league games with the Detroit Tigers and Houston Astros. He was an All-Star for the Astros in 1999, when he posted a 21-10 record and 187 strikeouts in 246 1/3 innings. Lima pitched for the Tigers last season and was 4-6 with a 4.20 ERA
