Dodgers acquire infielder

The Los Angeles Dodgers have been active ahead of the MLB trade deadline, acquiring infielder Amed Rosario from the Tampa Bay Rays and utility player Tommy Edman along with pitcher Michael Kopech in a significant three-team deal. Rosario rejoins the Dodgers for the second consecutive year after posting a .307 batting average in 2024, while Edman, a Gold Glove winner, is expected to enhance the team's infield depth despite recovering from wrist surgery. The Dodgers traded minor league pitcher Michael Flynn to the Rays in exchange for Rosario, who provides defensive versatility across several positions. Los Angeles, currently leading the National League West with a 63-44 record, is looking to bolster its roster further with the trade deadline approaching. The Dodgers' recent moves reflect their ambition to solidify their playoff chances and compete for the World Series title this season. Additionally, left-handed pitcher Ryan Yarbrough was designated for assignment to make room for Rosario on the roster.
