Dalton Rushing Set For Triple-A Promotion
4 months agoAfter a strong season at Double-A Tulsa, the Dodgers will promote catcher prospect Dalton Rushing to Triple-A Oklahoma City. Rushing earns the promotion after hitting .270 with 17 homers and 59 RBI. Rushing is the Dodgers No. 1 prospect and No. 46 overall per MLB Pipeline, mostly due to his ability to hit the ball with plenty of thump from the left side of the dish. Strikeouts were an Achilles heel entering this season, but Rushing has improved a lot in that department in 2024. With the Dodgers being set behind the dish for years to come with Will Smith, Rushing has also seen time at first base and that could be his future home as he is not the best defensive catcher in general. Regardless of his defense, it is his bat that will be helping fantasy managers in the future. It will be interesting to see if he gets a chance with the Dodgers this summer, but he is knocking on the door for next season. Dynasty managers should be rostering Rushing, while redraft managers should keep his name on file for next season.
