The Los Angeles Dodgers made roster adjustments ahead of the trade deadline, acquiring catchers Ben Rortvedt and Hunter Feduccia. Dalton Rushing is headed to the injured list with a mild right elbow strain, and Will Smith is still recovering from a neck injury. Rortvedt, previously with the Dodgers, impressed last season working with the pitching staff. Feduccia returns to the organization after being traded to Tampa Bay a year ago. The Dodgers clear roster space by sending minor leaguer Jack Suwinski to the Rays. Rortvedt is expected to be activated for the next game against the Chicago Cubs.
