URGENT UPDATE: The Los Angeles Dodgers have just activated Dalton Rushing from the injured list, providing a critical boost to their catching depth on September 26, 2023. This move comes as the team grapples with the absence of starter Will Smith, who is sidelined due to a bone bruise in his right hand.
Rushing, who had missed nine games with a right shin contusion after fouling a ball off his leg, is now back in action following a successful minor league rehab assignment, where he played four games. The timing of his return is crucial as the Dodgers continue to fight for playoff positioning.
In a corresponding move, catcher Chuckie Robinson was sent back to Triple-A Oklahoma City after being called up when Rushing was initially injured. Robinson had a brief stint with the Dodgers, starting in Monday’s 6-5 loss to Philadelphia, but did not see any action before his optioning.
This season, Rushing has struggled at the plate, hitting just .190 with three home runs and 21 RBIs in 45 games with the Dodgers. However, his return marks a significant moment for the team, as they look to solidify their roster during this critical stretch of the season.
Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely as Rushing steps back onto the field, eager to see how he can contribute in the coming games. The Dodgers, currently facing tough competition, are counting on his potential to make a positive impact as they aim for the postseason.
Stay tuned for more updates as the Dodgers continue their quest for a championship.
