The Dodgers' depth at the catcher position was already dwindling, and when All-Star backstop Will Smith suffered a hairline fracture in his hand towards the end of the regular season, and rookie catcher Dalton Rushing hit the injured list just days later, Rortvedt's role became invaluable. He played just 18 regular season games for the Dodgers, but all of which took place in September, a key stretch to end the campaign ahead of the postseason.

Earlier this month, the Braves claimed Ha-Seong Kim off waivers almost immediately after it was reported that he had even been available in the first place. Now, the Braves have taken a bit more time to hop on acquiring another intriguing piece for the offseason: RHP Alek Manoah has been claimed off waivers from the Toronto Blue Jays and has been placed onto Atlanta's 40-man roster.

The Braves have claimed Chuckie Robinson off waivers from the Dodgers, according to a report from David O'Brien of The Athletic.

The Braves announced Thursday that they've claimed infielder Brett Wisely off waivers from the Giants and optioned him to Triple-A Gwinnett. Lefty Aaron Bummer was transferred from the 15-day IL to the 60-day IL in order to create space on the 40-man roster. San Francisco designated Wisely for assignment earlier in the week. Wisely, 26, was a 15th-round pick by the Rays back in 2019.

Cowles would then learn he would be designated for assignment this past Monday. According to 670 The Score's Bruce Levine, the Chicago White Sox have now claimed the infielder off waivers. Cowles has been optioned to Triple-A Charlotte, and he has been added to the club's 40-man roster. This roster now sits at 39, via Sports Illustrated's Jack Ankony.
