Dodgers Activate Dalton Rushing from Injured List in October Push

The Los Angeles Dodgers activated catcher Dalton Rushing from the injured list in a late-season effort to evaluate him for a potential specialized pinch-hitting role in October. Rushing missed four weeks in August with a partially torn UCL in his right elbow and re-aggravated it during throwing drills, limiting him to five games over the last 49. A strong 120 wRC+ over 200 plate appearances keeps him under consideration despite limited playing time.
