Dodgers’ Dalton Rushing Carried Off Field After Suffering Leg Injury

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Dalton Rushing has been forced to exit Friday’s game against the Baltimore Orioles after fouling a ball off his leg.

Rushing immediately fell to the ground in immense pain and couldn’t put any weight on his right leg as he was carried off the field.

Here’s a video of the play:

Rushing is currently getting an opportunity as the Dodgers’ starting catcher with Will Smith out. Without Rushing and Smith, the Dodgers only have Ben Rortvedt as a catching option on the roster.

Rortvedt was acquired by the Dodgers as part of a three-team trade at the deadline in which they sent catcher Hunter Feduccia to the Tampa Bay Rays.

 

Smith isn’t expected to be able to play until sometime next week, so the Dodgers will hope Rushing’s injury isn’t as bad as it looked. If Rushing is also out, the Dodgers will have to find another catcher to join Rortvedt on the roster.

Dalton Rushing Injury Update

The Dodgers announced that Rushing left the game with a lower right leg contusion. Manager Dave Roberts will provide a further update after the game.
