The Los Angeles Dodgers have acquired infielder/outfielder Tyler Fitzgerald from the Toronto Blue Jays in exchange for cash considerations, bolstering their roster with a versatile player.

Strategic Roster Move

This transaction represents a strategic move between two teams that were World Series contenders last season. The Dodgers are aiming to increase their lineup depth as they approach the new campaign.

Fitzgerald's Background

Fitzgerald was designated for assignment by the Blue Jays last week. He brings a wealth of experience and adaptability to the Dodgers’ roster.

Early Career and Minor League Performance

Fitzgerald’s professional career began with the San Francisco Giants organization. He spent part of the 2025 season at Triple-A Sacramento before being released on March 30.

The Blue Jays then acquired him for cash considerations, where he played six games at Triple-A Buffalo, batting 3 for 20.

Major League Stats

Over 178 major league games with the Giants from 2023 to 2025, Fitzgerald maintained a .252 batting average, with 21 home runs and 53 RBIs.

His best season came in 2024, when he batted .280 with 15 home runs and 34 RBIs in 96 games.

Minor League Resume

Fitzgerald also has a strong minor league record, playing 477 games over seven seasons with a .260 batting average, 77 home runs, and 279 RBIs.

He was originally drafted in the fourth round of the 2019 amateur draft out of the University of Louisville.

Roster Adjustment

To make room for Fitzgerald on the 40-man roster, the Dodgers transferred right-hander Landon Knack to the 60-day injured list. This move demonstrates the team’s focus on optimizing their roster for the season.
