Report: Toronto Blue Jays trade infielder Tyler Fitzgerald to Los Angeles Dodgers

The Toronto Blue Jays announced they’ve traded infielder Tyler Fitzgerald to the Dodgers for cash considerations.

Toronto designated him for assignment last week. The Dodgers transferred Landon Knack to the 60-day injured list to open a 40-man roster spot.

Fitzgerald has an option remaining and could be assigned to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Fitzgerald, 28, was acquired in a similar DFA cash deal three weeks ago.

The Jays had just lost Leo Jiménez since he was out of options and didn’t crack the Opening Day roster.

He was flipped to the Marlins and then the Jays acquired Fitzgerald to replace some of that lost infield depth, with Fitzgerald getting optioned to the minors.

A few days later, Addison Barger hit the IL and Fitzgerald was called up.

A few days after that, the Jays acquired Lenyn Sosa from the White Sox and bumped Fitzgerald back down to the minors.

George Springer also hit the IL and the Jays have been using Sosa both on the infield and in the designated hitter spot.

Fitgerald burst onto the scene with the Giants in 2024 by putting up a .280/.334/.497 line.

There were some yellow flags there, as Fitzgerald struck out at a 31.7% clip and benefited from a .380 batting average on balls in play.

The inevitable regression was a bit more extreme than expected, as Fitzgerald had a grisly .217/.278/.327 line in 2025.

Around his transactions, he has an awful .094/.147/.125 line at Triple-A this year.

Despite the offensive struggles, the Dodgers will probably liked the idea of stashing Fitzgerald in the minors and hoping for a bounceback, even if getting to his 2024 level would be a tall ask.
