MLB Roster Moves
The Los Angeles Dodgers designated left-handed reliever Anthony Banda for assignment and claimed catcher Ben Rortvedt off waivers from the Cincinnati Reds on Friday. This move clears space on the 40-man roster amid considerations for bullpen depth and catching options. Banda, a fan favorite, leaves after contributing to back-to-back championships, while Rortvedt returns after a brief stint last season.

The Washington Nationals claimed left-handed reliever Richard Lovelady off waivers from the New York Mets on Thursday, adding a veteran arm to their bullpen. To make room on the 40-man roster, the team designated utility player Mickey Gasper for assignment. Lovelady brings six years of Major League experience to the organization.
