Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Dalton Rushing has a slight tear in the UCL in his right elbow, potentially affecting his status for the rest of the regular season. Rushing was placed on the injured list with what the team called a mild right elbow strain and will not throw for several weeks, with the hope of avoiding surgery. The Dodgers acquired two catchers, Ben Rortvedt from the New York Mets and Hunter Feduccia from the Tampa Bay Rays, ahead of the trade deadline. Regular starter Will Smith remains sidelined due to an inflamed disk in his neck.
