The Los Angeles Dodgers called up their top hitting prospect on Wednesday, a move that came a bit of the blue but was assumed to be coming soon enough.

What positions does Dalton Rushing play?

Rushing came up as a catcher, but the Dodgers have been working to build his defensive versatility.

This season at Triple-A Oklahoma City, Rushing has spent some time as a catcher but also appeared in left field and at first base.

Given Will Smith's established role as L.A.'s catcher, it seems Rushing will slot into a different spot at least some of the time.
