"The Reds claimed him off waivers after the Dodgers designated him for assignment earlier in the offseason, making this a return to the organization for the backup catcher. Rortvedt joined the Dodgers on July 31 via trade from the Tampa Bay Rays and played in 18 games for Los Angeles, batting .224 with one homer and four RBI while helping the Dodger starters to an MLB-best 2.17 ERA in the month of September."
"Banda is now on waivers, and the Dodgers can still trade him to another organization, or a team can claim him as well. If Banda clears waivers, he can elect to become a free agent, or decide to stay in the organization in the Minor Leagues. Banda went 5-1 with a 3.19 ERA in 71 games last season. The two-time World Series champion spent the last two seasons with the Dodgers, going 8-3 with a 1.4 fWAR and 3.14 ERA."
