Dodgers catcher Dalton Rushing went through the second-opinion carousel — "opinions on opinions," as he put it — after his elbow started bothering him on Aug. 2 while playing catch in the outfield before the a game against the Red Sox.
"We then come to an agreement that surgery is not necessary," Rushing said Tuesday. "So, we're going to rehab the muscle on the inside of my forearm. And the details as to timeline, I don't really have any for you. But at the same time, I can say it feels 10 times better than it did a week ago. And as soon as I can be throwing a baseball, I will be."
Rushing said that Sunday was the first time he'd felt pain while throwing — "didn't feel a pop or anything, but felt pretty serious as it kind of tightened up on me a little bit."
Manager Dave Roberts said last week that Rushing's MRI showed a slight UCL tear. Rushing added Tuesday that something similar had appeared on previous scans, without symptoms.
"It's something we've known about, but it hasn't gotten worse over the years," Rushing said. "And so it puts my arm in just a fine spot, and obviously, we just worry about the muscle."
