The Dodgers and Twins made a move before the deadline.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have officially seen enough of pitcher Noah Davis, trading the right-hander to the Minnesota Twins on Monday.
Davis, a 28-year-old who has pitched in parts of the last four seasons, posted a horrific 19.50 ERA and 8-5 K-BB ratio in six innings. Most of that damage came on July 4, when the Houston Astros rocked him for 10 earned runs in 1 1/3 innings.
The Dodgers designated Davis for assignment last Friday. Minnesota has already assigned him to Triple-A St. Paul.
It's been a frustrating few years for Davis, who debuted with the Colorado Rockies at the end of 2022. Davis owns an 8.95 ERA in 57 1 1/3 big-league innings, and he's tallied -1.8 bWAR over those 23 games.
Davis opened his Dodgers career with three scoreless outings in his first four games. The exception came when he allowed three runs and blew the save in a 7-6 loss to the Chicago Cubs on April 23.
We'll see if Davis benefits from a change of scenery, especially given his mixed numbers with the Dodgers' Triple-A affiliate. Davis recorded a 3.94 ERA in 32 innings at Oklahoma City, though his 4.2 walks-per-nine remains especially concerning.
The 47-49 Twins entered the All-Star Break 11 1/2 games out of first place. Minnesota is four games out in the AL Wild Card race.
