Dalton Rushing has sparked controversy in his first full MLB season with the Dodgers. Key incidents include his remarks about Rockies hitters being 'fishy' after a loss on April 18, and a perceived insult to Jung Hoo Lee during an injury incident against the Giants on April 21. On April 23, Rushing's aggressive slide into Willy Adames drew criticism from Giants players. He also called Cubs catcher Miguel Amaya a 'fat f***' on April 26, and a timeout request was denied leading to a strikeout on April 28.
