Dalton Rushing Reframes Mindset Amidst Dodgers Roster Battle

Dodgers backup catcher Dalton Rushing, who batted .204 last season, is reframing his mindset this spring to 'just be a hitter' and focus on consistency. With his primary position blocked by Will Smith and other avenues to playing time complicated, Rushing acknowledged worrying too much about sporadic play last year. He aims to leverage strong relationships with pitchers and 'do damage every week' to cement his place and maximize opportunities on the star-studded team, despite ongoing trade rumors.
