Among all of the hoopla surrounding the Ellis for Ruiz trade one name kind of got lost in it all. Shawn Zarraga, a nine year minor league veteran catcher, was called up from Oklahoma City to fill in as the backup catcher for the Dodgers. His promotion, although likely just a brief cup-of-coffee, marked his debut in a Major League dugout. Per a Dodger press release:
Zarraga, who is making his first-career appearance on a big-league roster, batted a combined .265 (30-for-113) with a .348 on-base percentage, seven doubles and 14 RBI in 41 games with the OKC Dodgers and Double-A Tulsa this season.
