Dodgers Designate Ben Rortvedt for Assignment

Catcher Ben Rortvedt has been designated for assignment by the Los Angeles Dodgers to make room on the 40-man roster for Evan Phillips. Rortvedt was recently re-claimed off waivers from the Reds, having been lost by the Dodgers on waivers in November. This move was anticipated, as Rortvedt is out of options and behind Will Smith and Dalton Rushing on the depth chart. If he clears waivers, the Dodgers could retain him for depth off the 40-man roster.
