Leones general manager Ramón Rocha issued a statement thanking Figueroa while announcing that Luis Natera would serve as interim manager for the rest of the season. Figueroa took over the team for the final 11 games last season but was unable to steer Escogido into the playoffs.
Natera, who was in his first season with Leones as its bench coach, has previously coached the Cibao Giants and the Orientales Stars.
