Wallach will serve as a non-roster invitee during spring training in 2022.
EDGE Analysis
Wallach spent the 2021 campaign with the Marlins, Dodgers and Angels in 2021 but lost his spot on the 40-man roster in mid-November. He'll get to work with the major-league coaching staff this spring but will likely begin the regular season at Triple-A Salt Lake.

Wallach was claimed off waivers by the Dodgers on Friday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wallach gives the Dodgers an extra catcher on the 40-man roster after Keibert Ruiz was traded to the Nationals. He's unlikely to play a significant big-league role unless Will Smith or Austin Barnes get injured.

The Marlins designated Wallach for assignment on Saturday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The catcher was recalled before Friday's game and struck out in his only plate appearance. Wallach has appeared in 23 total games for the Marlins this season, hitting .200 with six RBI and 32 strikeouts. He was DFA'd to make room on the 40-man roster for Brian Anderson, whom the team activated from the 60-day injured list Saturday.

Wallach was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Wallach appeared in 22 games with the major-league club earlier in the year, but he spent nearly two months at Triple-A Jacksonville prior to Friday's call-up. He hit .204 with seven home runs, 17 RBI and 11 runs across 31 minor-league contests, and he should serve as catching depth in the near future.

Wallach was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wallach had lost out on playing time recently, and he'll head to the minors after Jorge Alfaro (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Wallach slashed .203/.246/.271 with three extra-base hits, six RBI and two runs to begin the season.

Wallach remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though top catcher Jorge Alfaro (hamstring) hasn't played since April 20, Wallach remains stuck in the No. 2 role behind the plate. Rather than Wallach, veteran Sandy Leon has seemingly emerged as the Marlins' preferred backstop. Leon will pick up his third consecutive start Wednesday.

Wallach will start at catcher and bat eighth in Thursday's lineup against the Giants, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wallach was expected to see an uptick in playing time after Jorge Alfaro (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday. However, Sandy Leon drew the first start in Alfaro's absence, so it remains to be seen how the playing time behind the dish will be split.
