The Dodgers weren't married to Eliezer Alfonzo or Chuckie Robinson as their third-strong catcher. With All-Star Will Smith on the injured list, and his backup (Dalton Rushing) dealing with a minor injury just before the Aug. 3 MLB trade deadline, they picked up two familiar names.
Catchers Ben Rortvedt and Hunter Feduccia were re-acquired in separate trades before the 6 p.m. MLB trade deadline, clarifying the Dodgers' catcher situation for the final two months of the regular season.
The two acquisitions were relatively minor in the grand scheme. If and when both Smith and Rushing are healthy, they will be the Dodgers' catching tandem.

The Dodgers did their heavy lifting on Saturday when they acquired Tarik Skubal from the Detroit Tigers. The two-time defending American League Cy Young Award winner will make his debut Tuesday, Aug. 4 in Chicago.
