"This is a brutal turn of events for the Dodgers with their top two catchers in Smith and Rushing getting injured on fluke foul balls during the same week.

Dalton Rushing exited Friday’s game against the Baltimore Orioles with a lower right leg contusion and will undergo a CT scan on Saturday after X-rays came back negative. Rushing will not play Saturday and could be placed on the injured list. With Will Smith also out, the Dodgers are calling up another catcher to join Ben Rortvedt, likely Chuckie Robinson. Manager Dave Roberts said Rushing will definitely be down tomorrow and could still need the IL, and Smith is not expected to go on the IL at this time. The team has lost six of seven and scored in only two of the last 29 innings.
