The Los Angeles Dodgers have called up catcher prospect Dalton Rushing, the team announced Wednesday. The Dodgers will open up an active roster spot for Rushing by designating backup catcher Austin Barnes for assignment.

The Los Angeles Dodgers called up Dalton Rushing on Wednesday amid a firm belief the organization’s top prospect was plenty ready for his Major League opportunity.

Rushing, a 2022 second-round pick who is ranked No. 15 among all MLB prospects by MLB Pipeline, has yet to appear in MLB action. He is slashing .308/.424/.938 in 31 Triple-A games this season. The Dodgers will designate Austin Barnes for assignment in a corresponding move.
