The Los Angeles Dodgers placed catcher Dalton Rushing on the 10-day injured list Sunday with right elbow discomfort, retroactive to September 5. Catcher Eliezer Alfonzo was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City in the corresponding move.

Rushing's injury stems from a partially torn UCL in his right elbow. Per True Blue LA, he aggravated the injury during pregame workouts on Saturday. The outlet noted the timing was ironic, as Rushing wasn't expected to catch while active this month before the aggravation occurred.

No reporting explains why the Dodgers placed him on the injured list at this particular moment, late in the regular season.
