Optioned to Triple-A The Dodgers optioned Feduccia to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

The 27-year-old made his big-league debut down the stretch last year and went 4-for-12 in five games, but he isn't likely to see much action in 2025 if Will Smith and Austin Barnes stay healthy.

Headed to majors The Dodgers recalled Feduccia from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact Feduccia has slashed .295/.420/.451 with 42 RBI across 274 plate appearances in Triple-A, and he'll now come up from the minors to give the Dodgers some additional depth behind the plate. The 27-year-old backstop doesn't have a clear path to playing time with Will Smith and Austin Barnes both still on the MLB roster, but if he's able to get into a game, it will mark his major-league debut.

Off to red-hot start in Triple-A 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.

Impact 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 nor Rushing yet to reach the Triple-A level.
