The Los Angeles Dodgers activate catcher/DH Dalton Rushing from the injured list, then place him back on the injured list just days later, creating renewed uncertainty about his availability later in the season. Yahoo Sports reports the Dodgers activate him on Tuesday, having moved him off the IL earlier. It then reports he returns to the IL soon after, despite the brief stint back in action.
According to the New York Post, the Dodgers send Rushing to the 10-day injured list because of “discomfort” in his right elbow. The report notes the same elbow recently sustained a torn ulnar collateral ligament last month. It adds that after his return, Rushing is limited to designated-hitter duties and is scratched from a scheduled appearance, reflecting the restrictions tied to the elbow issue.
Across outlets, the common thread is that Rushing’s right-elbow problem persists or reappears quickly after activation. The differing emphasis is timing and impact: one source highlights the rapid IL move after activation, while the other details the specific elbow discomfort and the medical context from his earlier injury.
