The Dodgers designated Robinson for assignment Tuesday.

The Dodgers acquired Hunter Feduccia and Ben Rortvedt through trades Monday to serve as replacements for Robinson and Eliezer Alfonzo on the active roster. Robinson was up with the Dodgers for just a day as a temporary depth piece due to Dalton Rushing (elbow) hitting the 10-day injured list Monday.

The Dodgers selected Rortvedt's contract from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday.

With Dalton Rushing (elbow) joining Will Smith (neck) on the injured list Monday, the Dodgers moved quickly to add catching depth to the organization. The Dodgers made trades prior to Monday's deadline to bring in Rortvedt and Hunter Feduccia, both of whom will be activated for Tuesday's game against the Cubs. Though he's spent the entire 2026 campaign to date in the minors, Rortvedt saw big-league action each of the previous four seasons, including at the tail end of 2025 with the Dodgers. Per Sonja Chen of MLB.com, manager Dave Roberts said that Rortvedt is expected to see the "lion's share" of the starts over Feduccia for the time being, with the Dodgers seemingly placing value on Rortvedt's defensive and game-calling skills. Rortvedt has been an easy out at the big-league level, batting just .190 with nine home runs in 227 career games.

The Marlins recalled Ramirez from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday.

The 24-year-old is back in the majors after a two-month stint at the Triple-A level. He's filling the roster spot vacated by Liam Hicks, who was traded to the Rays on Monday. Ramirez should see occasional starts behind the plate and will also start getting some reps at first base, per Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com. Joe Mack will continue to operate as Miami's primary catcher.

The Dodgers optioned Alfonzo to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday.

Alfonzo and Chuckie Robinson will be replaced on the Dodgers' active roster by new acquisitions Hunter Feduccia and Ben Rortvedt. Alfonzo went just 5-for-27 during his time with Los Angeles and is likely to spend the rest of the season as a depth piece at Oklahoma City.

The Diamondbacks placed Moreno on the paternity list Tuesday.

The 26-year-old was scratched from the lineup Monday to attend the birth of his child, so this move to the paternity list was expected. Moreno can spend up to three days on the paternity list, so he should be back with the Diamondbacks by Friday's series opener versus the Dodgers.

The Marlins will recall Ramirez from Triple-A Jacksonville prior to Tuesday's contest in Atlanta, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.

Ramirez was sent down to Jacksonville in early May after slashing only .230/.318/.345 with two home runs in his first 31 contests. He's been better at Jacksonville, though a .254/.332/.427 batting line wasn't exactly forcing the Marlins' hand. Ramirez has not played a position other than catcher this season, and with Joe Mack slated to continue serving as the Marlins' primary backstop, it's unclear how much playing time Ramirez will receive.

Bernal is slashing .288/.360/.569 with nine home runs, 12 doubles and 42 RBI in 38 games since the start of June.

Bernal has already set a new career high this season with 14 home runs, and he's sporting a 118 wRC+, 11.6 percent walk rate and 19.6 percent strikeout rate. The Cardinals didn't wind up trading any catchers at the deadline, which could make it difficult for Bernal to crack the big-league roster before the end of this season; however, the switch-hitting 22-year-old looks ready for an opportunity when called upon.

The Dodgers selected Robinson's contract from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday.

Robinson was able to join the Dodgers ahead of Monday's series opener in Chicago, providing the team with a second option at catcher behind Eliezer Alfonzo after Dalton Rushing (elbow) was placed on the 10-day injured list. The Dodgers likely won't have a spot available for Robinson for long, however, as Hunter Feduccia was acquired from the Rays on Monday and could bump Robinson off the roster if he's able to arrive at Wrigley Field in time for Tuesday's contest.

Moreno was scratched from the lineup for Monday's game against the Padres to attend the birth of his second child, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports.

James McCann will enter the lineup at catcher and as the Diamondbacks' No. 8 hitter in place of Moreno, who has been running hot at the plate since the All-Star break with a .286/.360/.444 batting line, two home runs, 15 RBI and 12 runs in 16 games. Moreno could go on the paternity list Tuesday, which would allow him to remain away from the team for between one and three days to spend time with his growing family.

Amaya is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Dodgers.

Carson Kelly will draw the start behind the plate Monday, but he and Amaya appear to have settled into a pattern of alternating turns at catcher. Amaya had started in five of the previous 10 games, going 5-for-17 with a double, three RBI and two runs.
