**Dodgers’ Rushing Hits Injured List; Glasnow Avoids It**

BALTIMORE — The Los Angeles Dodgers’ catching situation has taken a hit, with rookie Dalton Rushing landing on the 10-day injured list with a lower right leg contusion. The injury occurred Friday when Rushing fouled a ball off his leg in the sixth inning of the Dodgers’ 2-1 loss to the Baltimore Orioles.

“I didn’t really know what to expect, I’d never fouled a ball off my leg that high,” Rushing said. “But yeah it was scary. I thought I could’ve broke a bone.”

To bolster their catching depth, the Dodgers have selected the contract of veteran catcher Chuckie Robinson from Triple-A Oklahoma City. Robinson, who last played in the majors with the White Sox, has been performing well in Triple-A this season, hitting .264.

The news wasn’t all bad for the Dodgers, however. Starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow, who was scratched from his scheduled Friday start due to back tightness, underwent examination and is expected to avoid a stint on the injured list.

“Nothing came of it, so I think we dodged a bullet there,” Manager Dave Roberts said. “He was playing catch today, so we expect to pencil him in soon.”

This comes as a relief as Glasnow has pitched to a 3.02 ERA with 58 strikeouts in 50 2/3 innings since returning from right shoulder inflammation on July 9.

The Dodgers are already dealing with another catching concern, as three-time All-Star Will Smith is day-to-day with a right hand contusion. Roberts hopes he can use Smith off the bench on Sunday.
