Dodgers Acquire Utility Player Tyler Fitzgerald From Blue Jays for Cash

Los Angeles opened a 40-man spot by placing Landon Knack on the 60-day injured list.

Overview

  • The Dodgers announced the trade Tuesday before facing the Marlins, transferring right-hander Landon Knack to the 60-day injured list to clear a roster spot.
  • Fitzgerald is expected to report to Triple-A Oklahoma City for evaluation, according to multiple reports, giving the team a look before any call-up.
  • Toronto designated him for assignment on April 24 after a short run at Triple-A Buffalo, where he went 3-for-20 with 14 strikeouts in six games.
  • The 28-year-old has three MLB seasons with the Giants, including a .280, 15-homer surge in 2024 followed by a .217 slump in 2025.
  • He has one minor-league option left, which lets the Dodgers keep him in Triple-A as multi-position depth and bring him up if injuries or needs arise.
