The Dodgers have overhauled their catching staff by selecting the contract of Ben Rortvedt and activating Hunter Feduccia, while optioning Eliezer Alfonzo to Triple-A and designating Chuckie Robinson for assignment. Rortvedt, who has struggled offensively but is valued for his defense, has been acquired multiple times by the Dodgers and will now take on a big league role. Robinson, who has also been noted for his defensive skills, will likely clear waivers and could elect free agency if outrighted again. The team’s catching dynamics have shifted significantly this season due to injuries and trades, notably involving Will Smith and Dalton Rushing.
