Feduccia went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Royals.
Feduccia has gone 9-for-36 (.250) with a homer and four doubles over 16 games since the All-Star break. He's sharing the catching duties with Ben Rortvedt while Will Smith (neck) and Dalton Rushing (elbow) are sidelined. Feduccia and Rortvedt are likely competing for one spot on the roster once Smith is healthy. Overall, Feduccia is batting .237 with a .665 OPS, three homers, 13 RBI, 18 runs scored, eight doubles, one triple and no stolen bases over 176 plate appearances.

Dodgers' Hunter Feduccia: Sitting after three straight starts
Rotowire
Feduccia is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Feduccia will head to the bench after he started behind the plate in each of the Dodgers' previous three contests while going 2-for-8 with a walk and a run scored. Ben Rortvedt will get the nod at catcher Sunday, but Feduccia could end up being the Dodgers' favored option until Will Smith (neck) is ready to come off the 60-day injured list.

Dodgers' Hunter Feduccia: Sent to Dodgers at deadline
Rotowire
The Dodgers acquired Feduccia and right-hander Jacob Kmatz from the Rays on Monday in exchange for outfielder Jack Suwinski and international bonus pool money.
With Dalton Rushing (elbow) joining Will Smith (neck) on the injured list Monday, the Dodgers brought Feduccia aboard to restore some depth behind the plate. The 29-year-old had been operating in a tandem at catcher with Nick Fortes in Tampa Bay, slashing .234/.306/.340 with two home runs and 14 RBI in 160 plate appearances on the season. While he's up with the Dodgers, the left-handed-hitting Feduccia could occupy the strong side of a loose platoon at catcher with the switch-hitting Eliezer Alfonzo until one of Rushing or Smith returns from the shelf.

Rays' Hunter Feduccia: Absent from lineup
Rotowire
Feduccia is absent from the lineup for Monday's game versus the Royals.
Righty Michael Wacha starts for the Royals and is better against lefties, which at least partly explains why the lefty-swinging Feduccia is not in the lineup. Nick Fortes will do the catching for the Rays.

Feduccia will stick behind the plate for a second straight game following a recent four-game stretch in which Nick Fortes received the starting nod at catcher in each of those contests. All four of Fortes' starts came while the Rays faced left-handed pitching, so Feduccia still looks to be occupying the strong side of a platoon.

Rays' Hunter Feduccia: Playing time trending down
Rotowire
Feduccia is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.
Feduccia will be on the bench while the Red Sox send southpaw Connelly Early to the bump, but the left-handed-hitting catcher had been left out of the lineup in three of the previous four matchups versus right-handed pitchers.

Rays' Hunter Feduccia: Pops first homer
Rotowire
Feduccia 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Orioles.
The backstop took Shane Baz deep in the second inning for the Rays' only offense until they erupted for four runs in the eighth to steal a win. It was Feduccia's first long ball of the year, and he's slashing .278/.365/.370 through 54 plate appearances on the season. It appears he's taken hold of the primary catching job with five starts in Tampa Bay's past seven games.
