Dalton Rushing works toward catching return for Dodgers after UCL injury

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Dalton Rushing confirmed Tuesday he is resuming his throwing progression after sustaining a partial tear to his ulnar collateral ligament earlier this season. Rushing is currently throwing at distances of 90 to 100 feet as he seeks to return behind the plate. While he has rejoined the lineup as a hitter, he does not have a set timeline for returning to catching duties. The organization is monitoring his recovery closely to determine the next phase of his return. Rushing has served as a primary catching option during the absence of Will Smith and provides the Dodgers with depth both behind the plate and at the designated hitter position.
