Rushing was diagnosed with a slight UCL tear in his right elbow Tuesday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
Analysis:Rushing landed on the injured list Monday with an elbow strain, and MRI results confirmed that the 25-year-old backstop suffered ligament damage. The Dodgers are still hopeful that he won't have to undergo season-ending surgery, but he'll still be shut down from all activity for at least a few weeks while he recovers. If Rushing were to play again this year, he would likely be limited to a hitting-only role. Will Smith (neck) is also set to remain on the injured list for another 3-to-4 weeks, so Ben Rortvedt and Hunter Feduccia will handle catching duties for the Dodgers going forward.
