Overview
- Dalton Rushing left Monday’s game after a foul tip struck his mask, passed an initial concussion test and was placed in concussion protocol pending a recheck in 24 hours.
- Manager Dave Roberts said Rushing could still miss the next game depending on the follow-up exam and that the team will monitor him day to day.
- Chuckie Robinson replaced Rushing behind the plate during the game and served as the immediate backup option.
- Kyle Tucker exited the same game with back spasms and is listed day to day, with Roberts calling the issue something to watch rather than a long-term worry.
- With Will Smith already on the injured list, the Dodgers face thin catching depth and may need to rely on backups or summon a Triple-A catcher such as those discussed by reporters if Rushing cannot play.
