Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts announced that catcher Dalton Rushing has a slight tear in his left elbow. His injury follows a late scratch from Sunday’s game against the Boston Red Sox. Roberts stated there is a 'very small' chance Rushing will continue as part of the team's catching tandem. The Dodgers aim to keep him available as a left-handed bench bat while also managing the recovery of starting catcher Will Smith. In response to the uncertainty, the Dodgers recently acquired catchers Hunter Feduccia and Ben Rortvedt as they navigate losing Rushing and Smith's ongoing recovery.
