Returns after injury
CLos Angeles Dodgers  AA
June 24, 2023
Rushing (head) was back in action for High-A Great Lakes on Friday after missing time due to a head injury. He went 0-for-3 with a pair of walks and a run.
ANALYSIS
Rushing missed 10 days after getting hit on the head by a backswing in a game June 13. He was the Loons' designated hitter in his return and wasn't in the starting lineup Saturday, so the organization may be taking a cautious approach by easing the catching prospect back into action. Rushing has looked good in his first stint at the High-A level, slashing .260/.435/.494 with seven homers, 32 RBI. a stolen base and a 21.4 percent walk rate over 207 plate appearances.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be trade chip
CLos Angeles Dodgers  AA
July 20, 2023
Rushing could be included as part of an offering for Shohei Ohtani, speculates Jim Bowden of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Rushing is a top catching prospect in the Dodgers' system. Will Smith currently fortifies home plate for the Dodgers and is amid a career-best season, and the Dodgers have two highly regarded catching prospects atop the system. The combination of these factors makes Rushing expendable, but likely only for a phenom such as Ohtani.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Rushing, the 40th overall pick from last year's draft, hasn't played against age-appropriate competition yet in the pros, but his statistical output at Single-A as a 21-year-old was infallible. He didn't get to do much his first two years at Louisville while playing behind eventual No. 1 overall pick Henry Davis, but Rushing was excellent in the Cape Cod League and as a junior. His exit velocity and swing decision data is elite, it's just a matter of seeing how it translates at High-A and, more importantly, Double-A, but if he stays on this trajectory, he could eventually be seen as a top-10 real-life prospect. Rushing's talent and potential warrants excitement, but we are seeing a catching renaissance in dynasty leagues and the Dodgers' organization itself has an excess. However, Rushing already started playing some first base last season, and if the bat is as good as it seems, he could start plenty at designated hitter too.
