He earned a promotion after a strong start in Triple-A, batting .308/.424/.514 with five doubles and five home runs, earning the Branch Rickey Minor League Player of the Year title. As the backup catcher to Will Smith, Rushing's role has limited his playing time. The Dodgers are reportedly considering a trade but are currently unmotivated to move him.
