Dodgers backup catcher Dalton Rushing was dropped from NLCS roster for additional bullpen arm

Dalton Rushing was selected by the Dodgers in the fifth round of the 2022 MLB draft and was added to the 40-man roster in May. He batted .204 with four home runs and 24 RBI during the regular season.

His only postseason outing for the team came in the division series against the Philadelphia Phillies when he was used as a pinch hitter in 8-2 NLDS Game 3 loss.

Rushing was cut from the championship roster as the Dodgers went with an extra arm, Ben Casparius, to bolster the bullpen.

"We felt that Will is in a good spot to feel that we don't need to protect him to have a third catcher," Dave Roberts said. "With Ben, we just felt that having another right-hander to be able to take down a certain part of their lineup, if needed. And Ben pitched in the World Series last year, so he's got some experience, as well."

Will Smith has been the primary catcher in the postseason with Ben Rortvedt as his backup behind the plate.
