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. Barnes, the longest-tendured Dodger position player, has been with the team since 2015.

The Los Angeles Dodgers promoted top prospect Dalton Rushing last week as the corresponding move to longtime backup catcher Austin Barnes being designated for assignment.

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.
