Rushing returns to Los Angeles’ catching mix alongside Ben Rortvedt for Tuesday’s battle against the Phillies after missing just over one week recovering from a left shin contusion. He’ll split the catching duties until starter Will Smith (hand) is back from the injured list.

The fact that Rushing is already returning to minor league action just five days after landing on the injured list, it seems likely that he’ll be ready to rejoin the Dodgers as soon as he’s eligible to do so. He’s working his way back from a bruised left shin that he suffered when fouling a ball off of his leg on Friday evening.

Fortunately, a CT scan revealed that Rushing isn’t dealing with any fractures after fouling a ball off of his leg on Friday night, but he’s still going to miss a bit of time with the bone bruise. Chuckie Robinson was promoted from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday in a corresponding move to add depth behind the plate for the Dodgers.

It’s still unclear whether or not the 24-year-old backstop will require a trip to the injured list, but it sounds like he was at least able to avoid any significant injury. Ben Rortvedt is expected to see the bulk of the action through the weekend with Will Smith (hand) banged up as well.

Not great. The Dodgers are going to bring up some additional emergency catching depth with both Rushing and starter Will Smith (hand) dealing with physical issues. It’ll likely be Ben Rortvedt handling the catching duties for the remainder of the weekend. Initial X-rays came back negative for any fractures. However, the 24-year-old top prospect is slated to undergo a precautionary CT scan this weekend to determine whether he suffered a serious injury. There should be an update on his status relatively soon. It wouldn’t be surprising if he required a trip to the injured list just for roster management purposes alone.

Rushing strolled to the dish in the seventh inning with two men on and one out and the score knotted at two runs apiece. He battled Jeremiah Estrada to a full count before crushing a slider for a 387-foot (104.6 mph EV) three-run blast that put the Dodgers ahead to stay. That would be his only hit in four at-bats on the afternoon. For the season, the 24-year-old backstop is slashing a disappointing .187/.246/.299 with three homers and 19 RBI in his first 118 plate appearances with the Dodgers.

Rushing took Victor Mederos deep for a two-run homer in the second inning for his second home run of the season. He added a base hit in the sixth before Will Smith pinch hit for him in the eighth. The 24-year-old backstop is playing once every three games, hitting .202/.269/.298 with 15 RBI across 104 plate appearances.

Rushing makes his second consecutive start behind the plate for Los Angeles with All-Star backstop Will Smith getting some extra rest. The 24-year-old rookie hasn’t played enough to make a significant impact from a fantasy standpoint, but the talent is there for him to make some serious noise if he ever gets an extended opportunity.

It’s an off-night for starter Will Smith with Rushing handling the catching duties and batting ninth. The 24-year-old top prospect is hitting .212/.235/.333 with one homer and seven RBI across 10 games since being called up back in mid-May from Triple-A Oklahoma City. He’d have some appeal for fantasy purposes in an everyday role, but that isn’t happening with Smith still healthy and in his prime.

The Dodgers are slowly easing Rushing into things at the big-league level with established starter Will Smith still handling the majority of the catching duties. The 24-year-old top prospect has gone 4-for-16 with three RBI in five games since being called up earlier this month. Simply put, he’s not playing enough to make an impact for fantasy purposes, even in deeper mixed leagues.
