Dodgers Announced Dalton Rushing Update
This week, the Dodgers announced the latest update on Dalton Rushing.
He has been out since September 5 with an injury.

Before getting hurt, Rushing had been batting .249 with 55 hits, 12 home runs, 36 RBIs and 37 runs in 78 games.
Rushing was picked in the 2nd round of the 2022 MLB Draft.
He is in the middle of his second season in the MLB (all with the Dodgers).

Bob Nightengale of USA Today wrote: “The San Diego Padres not only reduce their magic number to 1 by beating the Dodgers, 5-1, but they also move into the top wild-card position and home-field advantage in the wild-card round. They have a 1-game lead over the Cubs and Phillies with 4 remaining games”
