Dalton Rushing Faces ‘Tough’ Test For Dodgers Postseason Roster Spot
Dodgers catcher Dalton Rushing is returning on Friday, September 24th, manager Dave Roberts said, but only as a pinch-hitter.
The Los Angeles Dodgers have announced that catcher Dalton Rushing will return to action on Friday, September 24th, but only in a pinch-hitting capacity according to manager Dave Roberts. Rushing's return is limited due to his inability to handle catching duties, as he is currently sidelined with a right elbow injury that forced him onto the injured list in early August.
Despite his limitations, Roberts believes Rushing's early season success warranted a chance to prove himself. The Dodgers plan to give him a maximum of three at-bats to showcase his plate performance, as reported by Dodgers Nation's Noel Sanchez. The circumstances surrounding Rushing's situation are described as "tough" by Roberts, who acknowledged that his contributions this season merit consideration for a postseason roster spot.
