Los Angeles designated infielder/outfielder Ryan Fitzgerald for assignment to complete the 40-man roster move for Andy Ibáñez.

He made his major-league debut with 53 plate appearances across 24 games (.196/.302/.457), played all four infield positions, and recorded a 79th percentile sprint speed. He also posted a .277/.367/.469 line over 245 Triple-A plate appearances. The Dodgers have five days to trade or place him on waivers; if unclaimed he could remain as non-roster depth.
