Dalton Rushing with the Dodgers This Season
Dalton Rushing has been one of the more controversial players on the Dodgers this season, but with the absense of Will Smith (neck injury), Rushing has taken his rightful place as the Dodgers’ starting catcher for the time being.
Over 66 games played and 190 total at-bats, Rushing has batted .242 this season with 10 home runs, 30 RBI, and an OPS+ of 116. He’s in his second season with the Dodgers and has been a very capable backup (and now, starter) for LA.
The news regarding Will Smith isn’t very optimistic, so Rushing will continue to be the team’s top catching option.
