Dodgers Bring Zavala and Weems into Spring Training on Minor-League Deals

The Dodgers announced 32 non-roster Spring Training invites, including catcher Seby Zavala and reliever Jordan Weems on minor-league deals.

The club also added other depth pieces (Wyatt Mills, Carlos Duran, Antoine Kelly) and Nick Senzel in camp as it shapes the roster behind Smith and backup options like Ben Rortvedt and Dalton Rushing.
