LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers are collecting as many Fitzgeralds as possible for their Triple-A Oklahoma City roster. On Tuesday they acquired infielder Tyler Fitzgerald from the Toronto Blue Jays for cash considerations.
The Dodgers also have Ryan Fitzgerald, who was acquired via waivers in January 9 and later sent outright off the 40-man roster. Ryan Fitzgerald has played mostly third base for Oklahoma City, plus some time at second base, first base, left field, and right field this season. Tyler Fitzgerald in his three major league seasons thus far (2023-25) has played mostly shortstop and second base, plus some time mixed in at third base, first base, and all three outfield spots.
This is the third organization for Tyler Fitzgerald, who played the last three seasons for the San Francisco Giants before getting traded to Toronto on April 5. The Blue Jays designated him for assignment last Friday to make room for catcher Willie MacIver.
Fitzgerald in his three major league seasons with the Giants hit .252/.309/.430 with 21 home runs and a 106 wRC+ in 618 plate appearances. The right-handed hitter, 28, is a career .280/.347/.495 hitter with a 134 wRC+ in 203 plate appearances against left-handed pitchers. This season in nine Triple-A games between Sacramento and Buffalo had three hits in 32 at-bats with one walk and 19 strikeouts.
To make room for Fitzgerald on the 40-man roster, the Dodgers moved pitcher Landon Knack to the 60-day injured list. Knack has been out since late March with an intercostal strain. Not sure of his rehab timeline, but this move guarantees he can’t be activated until at least May 21.
