## Resource

On this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, we recap a handful of recent Dodgers transactions and take stock of roster battles with various players unavailable for opening day. Evan Phillips is back on a one-year deal, so is Kiké Hernández, though both are expected to be out until midseason after surgeries. Also, Max Muncy signed another extension that will keep him in Los Angeles through 2027 and maybe 2028, and Jack Suwinski was claimed off waivers. Catcher Ben Rortvedt was lost on waivers again, this time to the Mets, and Anthony Banda was traded to the Twins. The Three-Inning Save is part of the Fans First Sports Network. Hosted by Eric Stephen and Jacob Burch, with questions from Craig Minami. Produced by Brian Salvatore.
