Placed on 7-day IL Rushing was placed on the 7-day concussion injured list by High-A Great Lakes on Wednesday, Sam Dykstra of MiLB.com reports.

Rushing is viewed as one of the best catching prospects in baseball, and he's put up a .939 OPS for the Loons over 202 plate appearances with seven homers and a stolen base.

He has a .257/.427/.507 slash line with seven home runs, a 24.3 percent strikeout rate and a 20 percent walk rate. Rushing has made 21 starts at catcher, 11 starts at designated hitter and seven starts at first base, which is an accurate representation of how he is likely to be deployed in the majors in a year or two.
