CINCINNATI -- The Dodgers were part of a three-team deal with the Reds and Rays on Thursday. Los Angeles dealt catcher Hunter Feduccia to Tampa Bay and received catcher Ben Rortvedt, right-hander Paul Gervase and left-hander Adam Serwinowski.
TRADE DETAILS:
Dodgers receive: C Ben Rortvedt, RHP Paul Gervase and LHP Adam Serwinowski
Rays receive: C Hunter Feduccia and RHP Brian Van Belle
Reds receive: RHP Zack Littell
Feduccia, 28, was blocked at the Major League level by Will Smith and rookie Dalton Rushing. He should be big league-ready but only got limited opportunities with the Dodgers, going 4-for-14 in seven games between 2024 and '25.

Rortvedt, 27, and Gervase, 25, have both spent time in the Majors. Rortvedt has appeared in the big leagues with the Twins, Yankees and Rays, and he was designated for assignment and outrighted to Triple-A on June 1. The backstop hit .095 with a .297 OPS across 26 games with the Rays this season. He should essentially replace Feduccia as the organization's third catcher.
Gervase made his big league debut this season and posted a 4.26 ERA in five outings (6 1/3 innings). He's struck out 252 batters across 154 innings in his Minor League career.
