2026 Projections
Signed a one-year contract with the Dodgers in May of 2025.
Reps in outfield not ruled out
Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes indicated during last week's GM Meetings that the team hasn't ruled out giving Rushing some reps in the outfield, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Analysis
Rushing has made a total of 32 starts in left field in the minors, but 37 of his 38 starts with the Dodgers in 2025 were at catcher and the other came at first base. Catcher and first base remain blocked with the big club, but the left-field job with the Dodgers is open. While it seems unlikely the Dodgers would commit to Rushing as their primary left fielder, the position offers the 24-year-old a potential path to playing time. Rushing struggled in a reserve role with the Dodgers this season, slashing just .204/.258/.324 with a 37.4 percent strikeout rate over 53 regular-season tilts.

Stat Review
How does Dalton Rushing compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2023
Rushing was a good prospect prior to 2024, but he improved in every aspect of the game while setting himself up for a chance to compete for an Opening Day job in 2025. He upped his hard-hit rate from 25.1 percent to 36.9 percent, while cutting his strikeout rate from 24.4 percent to 20.3 percent and upping his contact rate from 67.9 percent to 75.7 percent. Rushing will not enter the year atop of the Dodgers' catching depth chart, but he is arguably the best catching prospect in the game yet saw more starts in left field than at catcher down the stretch at Triple-A. He could be the backup catcher (Austin Barnes has a $3.5 million club option) and a part-time left fielder next year, which could allow Rushing to play as much as a starting catcher despite being Will Smith's backup. Rushing's fantasy prime could actually mirror Smith's, as a top-five catcher who hits 20-plus home runs while hitting for a good average and logging elite on-base percentages relative to other catchers.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Not expected to be dealt
The Dodgers are not expected to be willing to make any sort of deal involving Rushing before the trade deadline, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
There's been some speculation that the Dodgers' recent promotion of Rushing could be the kick starter to a possible trade, but Rosenthal is all but shutting down the idea of that happening. At 24 years old, Rushing possesses notable offensive potential, and the Dodgers' can likely acquire any needed reinforcements without attaching the talented young catcher.
