August 4, 2024
The Dodgers will promote Rushing from Double-A Tulsa to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Rushing will make the leap to Triple-A after producing a .270 average with 17 home runs, 59 RBI and 44 runs scored over 324 plate appearances in 77 games with Tulsa this season. The 23-year-old operates mostly as a catcher, but he has gotten four starts in left field recently, opening up another avenue for playing time if the Dodgers call him up later on this season.

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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be trade chip
CLos Angeles Dodgers  AAA
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.
