The former Nationals outfielder is under team control through the 2029 season and joins Los Angeles after the Dodgers dealt outfielder James Outman earlier to the Twins. In 197 at-bats in 2025, Call has a slash line of .274/.371/.757, along with three home runs and 26 RBI. 

A noteworthy aspect regarding Call is his production against lefties, producing an OPS of .802 against southpaws, which can be beneficial to the Dodgers’ lineup moving forward. 

Drafted in the third round of the 2016 MLB Draft by the Chicago White Sox, the 30-year-old outfielder can play all parts of the outfield and provides stellar defense for Los Angeles. In 2025, he has spent most of his time manning the corner outfield positions, providing the Nationals with a notable plus-three Outs Above Average in right field. 

Liñan, 20, and the 20th-ranked prospect in the Dodgers system according to MLBPipeline.com, has had a strong 2025 showing thus far as he has posted an ERA of 2.78 across 74 1/3 innings and 101 punchouts. He supplements that with a WHIP of 1.09. 

His 101 strikeouts rank third in terms of Dodgers pitching prospects and have held opposing batters to a .186 batting average in 18 games between Single-A Rancho Cucamonga, High-A Great Lakes, and Triple-A Oklahoma City. 

Liñan signed with the Dodgers as an international free agent on January 15, 2022, out of Cartagena, Colombia. 

Swan, 23, is the Dodgers’ No.16-ranked prospect according to MLBPipeline.com. Swan has posted an ERA of 4.43 in 16 games and has held opponents to a .198 average across 16 games for the Great Lakes Loons this season.

The 23-year-old prospect was drafted in the fourth round out of Middle Tennessee State University in the 2023 First-Year Player Draft. Swan has compiled a 4.81 ERA in 29 Minor League games in the last two seasons.
