Dalton Rushing placed on injured list amid Dodgers' catching concerns
Summary

The Los Angeles Dodgers placed catcher Dalton Rushing on the 10-day injured list with a mild right elbow strain before their game against the Chicago Cubs. Manager Dave Roberts stated that Rushing has dealt with similar issues previously, but the recovery timeline remains uncertain. With Rushing and Will Smith both sidelined, the Dodgers are left without their top two catchers, forcing them to rely on Ben Rortvedt and Hunter Feduccia.
