Coulombe was optioned to the minors on Monday, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Coulombe nearly made the Dodgers' roster but he'll start the season in the minors and will more than likely get called-up at a later point in the season. Last season he spent the majority of the year in High-A before making 18 appearances at Double-A and finishing up with five September appearances in Los Angeles for the Dodgers.
