Dodgers place Dalton Rushing on 10-day IL with elbow flare, Alfonzo recalled

Dodgers catcher Dalton Rushing was placed on the 10-day injured list retroactive to September 5 due to right elbow discomfort after his elbow flared during a pre-game throwing session; Eliezer Alfonzo was recalled from Triple-A. Rushing, who previously had a partial UCL tear, is unlikely to catch again this season and will likely be limited to pinch-hitting vs. right-handed pitching as Shohei Ohtani reclaims the DH. He’s slashed .249/.332/.466 with 12 homers in 250 plate appearances this year, with better numbers against righties, and his absence could affect Dodgers’ postseason plans.

The moves strengthen the catching corps and overall depth as the team gears up for a postseason push, with Hunter Feduccia remaining as backup catcher and Andy Pages expected to return later this season, signaling a targeted roster shake-up after August.

Ohtani’s Pitches, Rushing’s Catching Put Dodgers’ Chemistry to the Test

With Will Smith sidelined by neck pain, Dodgers catcher Dalton Rushing must learn to work with Shohei Ohtani, whose frustration boiled over after a passed ball and a miscommunicated PitchCom call; Ohtani eventually started calling his own pitches to regain control, and while he pitched well, Rushing’s ability to adapt will determine whether he remains in a key role.

Dodgers Shorthanded Behind the Plate as Smith Hits IL

The Dodgers will place catcher Will Smith on the 10-day injured list with a stiff neck, backdating the move up to three days. Chuckie Robinson will be recalled to back up Dalton Rushing after the club released Tyler Fitzgerald to clear a 40-man roster spot. Rushing will handle primary catching duties during Smith’s absence, with Robinson serving as organizational depth. Smith has slashed .249/.338/.382 with six homers in 201 plate appearances, and manager Dave Roberts downplays the long-term concern while aiming for a quick return.
