Dodgers Make Minor-League Trade with Mariners
The Dodgers traded left-handed pitcher Robinson Ortiz for right-handed Tyler Gough to clear a 40-man roster spot ahead of the Rule 5 draft protection deadline.
- On Sunday, the Los Angeles Dodgers traded left-hander Robinson Ortiz to the Seattle Mariners for right-hander Tyler Gough, clearing a spot on the 40-man roster before Tuesday's deadline.
- Robinson Ortiz had been added to the Dodgers' 40-man roster earlier this month as his progress from Class-A Great Lakes through Double-A Tulsa to Triple-A Oklahoma City was slowed by injuries and the pandemic.
- Across 48 minor-league appearances in 2025, Robinson Ortiz was 5-2 with a 3.19 ERA in 59.1 innings, striking out 72 with 33 walks.
- The Mariners' 40-man roster now sits at 39 players, and Gough will not be added, freeing space to protect another minor-leaguer before next month's Rule 5 draft.
- Gough, 22, was Seattle's 2022 ninth-round pick and went 7-4 with a 4.33 ERA in 2024 for Low-A, with a 2-year record of 8-7 and 123 strikeouts in 125 1/3 innings.
