The Mets have claimed catcher Ben Rortvedt off waivers from the Dodgers, according to a report from Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. Right-hander Dedniel Nunez was transferred to the 60-day injured list to make room for Rortvedt on the 40-man roster.
Rortvedt was designated for assignment by the Dodgers earlier this week in order to make room for Evan Phillips on the club’s 40-man roster. Rortvedt made his big league debut with the Twins back in 2021, and since then has bounced between the Yankees, Rays, and Dodgers organizations at the big league level.
