Rays' Hunter Feduccia: Joins active roster
Rotowire
The Rays recalled Feduccia from Triple-A Durham on Friday.
Feduccia will join the Rays to provide some much-needed offensive help behind the plate after logging an .866 OPS in 333 plate appearances with the Dodgers' Triple-A affiliate in Los Angeles prior to being dealt to Tampa Bay ahead of Thursday's trade deadline. Now that he's up with the big club, the 28-year-old will most likely work in the strong side of a platoon at catcher with Nick Fortes.

Rays' Hunter Feduccia: Traded to Tampa Bay
Rotowire
The Rays acquired Feduccia on Wednesday in a three-team trade with the Reds and Dodgers, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
Feduccia has performed well in Triple-A this season with a .287/.398/.460 slash line through 329 plate appearances, but he was unlikely to spend a lot of time in the majors with Will Smith and Dalton Rushing already on the Dodgers. The path to playing time is much more favorable in Tampa Bay, as the Rays' catcher room currently consists of Nick Fortes (.632 OPS) and Matt Thaiss (.638 OPS).

Dodgers' Hunter Feduccia: Sent to Triple-A
Rotowire

Feduccia has been unimpressive at the plate this spring, going 1-for-11 with a double, three walks, an RBI and two runs scored while striking out five times over eight contests.

Dodgers' Hunter Feduccia: Grabs spot on 40-man
Rotowire

Dodgers' Hunter Feduccia: Off to red-hot start in Triple-A
Rotowire
Through 12 games with Triple-A Oklahoma City, Feduccia is slashing .432/.577/.838 with four home runs, 21 RBI, nine runs and a 14:11 BB:K.
Feduccia was a 12th-round draft pick by the Dodgers in 2018 out of Louisiana State. He hit 15 long balls in 294 at-bats between Double-A and Triple-A last season but batted a modest .238. He's pounded the ball thus far in 2023, with seven of his 16 hits going for extra bases. The Dodgers have plenty of organizational depth at catcher with Will Smith in the majors and Diego Cartaya and Dalton Rushing among their top prospects in the minors, so Feduccia isn't currently seen as a future starter. However, he could emerge as an MLB backup and could feasibly see some time in the majors this season with neither Cartaya or Rushing yet to reach the Triple-A level.
