Gale signed with Cincinnati as a non-roster invitee Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Gale spent last year with the Dodgers but never made it past the team's taxi squad. Organizational depth seems to be clearly the most fitting role for the 32-year-old backstop, as he's appeared in just 22 career MLB games, hitting .108/.108/.189.

Gale is part of the Dodgers' three-player taxi squad, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though he has played in only 22 major-league games, Gale has been in professional baseball for 10 years, the last three of which have been with the Dodgers. Gale doesn't offer much as a hitter and won't be eligible to play in big-league games unless a member of the 30-man roster goes down with an injury or tests positive for COVID-19.

Gale signed a minor-league deal with the Dodgers on Wednesday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gale spent most of the last two seasons in the Dodgers' organization, appearing in eight big-league games. He was traded for cash to the Rays at the deadline but remained in the minors for the rest of the year. The 31-year-old has appeared in just 22 major-league games over the course of his career and is unlikely to be anything more than organizational depth this season.

Gale was traded from the Dodgers to the Rays on Wednesday in exchange for cash considerations, Robert Murray of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gale has spent most of the season at Triple-A, compiling a .250/.303/.370 line with two home runs and one stolen base in 30 games there. He'll provide organizational catching depth for the Rays.

Gale was outrighted to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gale has been on the Dodgers' 40-man roster since heading to the majors last September, but he's being removed in advance of the July 31 trade deadline. The 31-year-old has a .250/.303/.370 slash line in 30 games with Oklahoma City this season.

Gale was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Gale made one appearance off the bench for the Dodgers during his brief stint in the majors, going hitless in his only at-bat. The veteran will continue to serve as catching depth.

Gales was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City prior to Friday's game against Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Gale was promoted to the major leagues after the Dodgers traded away Travis d'Arnaud to the Rays earlier in the day. Gale went 1-for-14 with seven strikeouts over four games with Los Angeles at the beginning of the year, and he'll be available off the bench for Friday's matchup if needed.

Gale was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gale received four starts during his time on the roster, going 2-for-14 with seven strikeouts. Russell Martin (back) was activated off the injured list in a corresponding move.

Gale will start at catcher and bat eighth Thursday against the Cubs, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Even with top catcher Austin Barnes scuffling at the plate of late, Gale hasn't seen any increase in his workload. Gale will be making just his fourth start since getting the call from Triple-A Oklahoma City on April 10 and will likely only be included in the lineup when Barnes requires a routine maintenance day.

Gale was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Gale will take the roster spot of Russell Martin (back), who was sent to the injured list in a corresponding move. The 31-year-old Gale should serve as the team's No. 2 catcher (behind Austin Barnes) until Martin is ready to return. He is just 2-for-22 (.091) in his big-league career.
