Dodgers catcher Dalton Rushing has a slight UCL tear in his right elbow, according to follow-up testing. The injury is a concern for the team heading into the season, though the extent of his absence remains unclear. UCL injuries in baseball range from manageable to season-ending depending on severity and whether surgery becomes necessary. Rushing was expected to be part of the Dodgers' catching rotation. His status going forward will depend on how the team and medical staff approach treatment, whether that means rest and rehabilitation or surgical intervention. The Dodgers will likely provide updates as they evaluate next steps.
