The Dodgers selected Rushing's contract from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday.

With Austin Barnes having been designated for assignment in a corresponding move, Rushing will pick up some starts at catcher on days that Will Smith has off. However, most of his playing time could come in the outfield, where Michael Conforto has struggled and Teoscar Hernandez (groin) and Tommy Edman (ankle) are currently out of the mix. Rushing is also capable of playing first base, but at-bats will be hard to come by at the position with Freddie Freeman entrenched atop the depth chart. Rushing has slashed .308/.424/.514 with five home runs and a 29:21 K:BB over 132 plate appearances this season with Oklahoma City.

The Dodgers are expected to designate Barnes for assignment Wednesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Barnes had been the team's longest-tenured position player but will lose his 40-man roster spot with the Dodgers set to promote prospect Dalton Rushing from Triple-A Oklahoma City. The 35-year-old Barnes is making $3.5 million this season and is slashing only .214/.233/.286 in 13 contests.

The Dodgers will call up Rushing from Triple-A Oklahoma City ahead of Wednesday's game against the Athletics, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Austin Barnes will be designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Rushing has torched Pacific Coast League pitching this season, slashing .308/.424/.514 with five home runs and a 29:21 K:BB over 132 plate appearances. He's made 16 starts at catcher, eight starts at first base and one start in left field this season. With Teoscar Hernandez (groin) and Tommy Edman (ankle) on the injured list and with Michael Conforto struggling, Rushing's best opportunity for playing time could come in the outfield. He will also see starts at catcher on off days for Will Smith.

Bailey is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Bailey caught both of the first two games of the series, so he'll get a breather for Wednesday's afternoon tilt. Sam Huff will start behind the dish and bat seventh for the Giants.

Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said Baldwin will start behind the plate Thursday against the Nationals and could see more playing time moving forward, David O'Brien of the Athletic reports.

In his most recent start in Tuesday's 5-2 win over Washington, Baldwin went 3-for-4 with his fourth home run of the season. Sean Murphy will get the nod behind the plate Wednesday, but as long as he's contributing with his bat, the rookie backstop should continue to see an equal share of the workload against right-handed pitching, although he has yet to get a start against a lefty. Through his first 25 big-league games, Baldwin is slashing .329/.382/.557 with a 6:13 BB:K.

Moreno is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in San Francisco.

Moreno caught both of the first two games of the series but will get a breather for Wednesday's afternoon contest. Jose Herrera will do the catching and bat ninth for the Diamondbacks.

Realmuto is out of the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Cardinals.

Rafael Marchan will start behind the plate in Game 1, but expect Realmuto to handle the catching duties in the second contest of the day. Through his first nine games of May, Realmuto is slashing .290/.389/.484 with one home run, five runs, five RBI and a 5:5 BB:K.

Baldwin went 3-for-4 with a double, a two-run home run and two additional runs scored in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Nationals.

Starting at catcher and batting fifth, Baldwin got Atlanta on the board by taking Michael Soroka deep in the fourth inning. The rookie is muscling his way into a timeshare behind the plate with Sean Murphy, and so far in May, Baldwin's batting .556 (10-for-18) with two doubles, two homers, four runs and five RBI.

Smith went 3-for-4 in Tuesday's 11-1 loss to the Athletics.

This was Smith's fifth multi-hit effort over 10 games in May. He's batting .364 (12-for-33) with three doubles and four RBI over that span. For the season, the catcher has been excellent with a .330 average, .915 OPS, three home runs, 21 RBI, 14 runs scored, two steals and eight doubles across 34 contests. Smith occupies a starting role behind the dish, usually ceding only one or two starts per week to Austin Barnes.

Davis went 1-for-3 with a walk and an RBI on Tuesday against the Mets.

Davis has drawn consecutive starts for the first time since mid-April, with Joey Bart serving as designated hitter in the absence of Oneil Cruz (back). It may be unfair to judge Davis based on his sporadic playing time, but his ugly performance in the majors has continued in 2025 as he is hitting only .135/.220/.216 across 42 plate appearances. The lone positive is that he's striking out just 16.7 percent of the time, nearly half of his 29.2 percent rate in 415 big-league plate appearances.
