Unlikely to be dealt, per manager Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Monday that Rushing isn't a candidate to be moved ahead of the trade deadline, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports. "I just don't...

Impact The caveat, of course, is that the team's front office -- not Roberts -- is the entity responsible for making any trade decisions on Rushing. That said, Roberts' confidence about Rushing remaining with the club past the deadline isn't all that surprising given that the rookie backstop entered the campaign as one of the league's top catching prospects. Rushing has struggled at the plate this year, posting a .200/.270/.275 slash line with one home run, 11 RBI and a 40.4 percent strikeout rate over 89 plate appearances, but Roberts pointed out that a learning curve is understandable since the 24-year-old is having to adjust to sporadic playing time. The Dodgers had enough confidence in Rushing's big-league readiness to part ways with longtime backup catcher Austin Barnes, who was DFA'd in mid-May.

Reaches base four times Sunday Rushing went 2-for-2 with a double, two walks and three runs in a 13-7 win against Washington on Sunday.

Impact Rushing reached in all four of his plate appearances to help set the table from the No. 9 spot in the lineup for leadoff hitter Shohei Ohtani, who racked up five RBI. Rushing notched his third multi-hit game of the campaign, but it was his first such performance since he accomplished the feat in each of his first two MLB contests May 15 and 17. The 24-year-old has settled in as the Dodgers' backup catcher behind Will Smith and has posted a .689 OPS with one home run, nine RBI and eight runs through 51 plate appearances.

Slugs first big-league homer Rushing went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 18-2 rout of the Yankees.

Impact Things got so out of hand score-wise that Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts brought in Rushing to pinch hit for reigning NL MVP Shohei Ohtani in the sixth inning. The Yankees essentially waved the white flag when they called upon position player Pablo Reyes to pitch in the eighth, and Rushing took advantage by blasting a three-run home run for his first long ball as a major-leaguer. Since being called up from the minors May 14, Rushing has been routinely starting every third game behind the plate, and he's compiled a .273/.304/.455 slash line with seven RBI through 23 plate appearances.
