Banda has pitched for eight different teams across parts of nine major league seasons. His 2025 campaign, however, was his best to date as he pitched in a career-high 71 games and posted a 3.18 ERA for the Dodgers. In two seasons with the Dodgers, Banda has appeared in 119 games and has a 3.14 ERA. The lefthander is expected to fill a middle relief role again in 2026.
