Dodgers Place Dalton Rushing on Injured List, Make Roster Changes

The Los Angeles Dodgers announced multiple roster changes before their game against the Chicago Cubs, including placing catcher Dalton Rushing on the 10-day injured list due to inflammation in his right elbow.

Rushing's injury adds to the team's catching woes, as starting catcher Will Smith is also sidelined with a neck issue. In response, the Dodgers selected the contracts of catchers Chuckie Robinson and Jonathan Hernandez, while designating right-hander Wyatt Mills for assignment and optioning Emmet Sheehan to Triple-A.

Manager Dave Roberts indicated that Rushing has experienced similar elbow issues in the past but did not provide a specific timeline for his return. The Dodgers are actively seeking catching depth, having recently traded for former players Hunter Feduccia and Ben Rortvedt.
