\"Los<\/p>\n

There’s a major flaw in the Dodgers’ strategy of packing their roster with high-powered veterans for anywhere between three years and a decade, and it’s that it’s creating a bottleneck of talent in their prospect pipeline.<\/p>\n

No. 1 prospect Dalton Rushing, who has taken over again at the top of the Dodgers’ top 30 after Roki Sasaki’s graduation to the majors, is the best example of this.<\/p>\n

Rushing, now in Triple-A, has come up primarily as a catcher but has taken turns at first base and was even briefly moved to left field last year.<\/p>\n

He’s putting up stellar numbers at the plate so far in Oklahoma City \u2014\u00a0.308\/.424\/.514 \u2014\u00a0and, on Sunday,\u00a0jumped from No. 25 to No. 15 in MLB Pipeline’s updated top 100. However, thanks to the lengths of all of LA’s massive contracts at catcher and first, it’s been unclear when he was going to appear in the majors.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Fabian Ardaya of\u00a0The Athletic\u00a0reported that the Dodgers may have figured something out, and that\u00a0they’ll be calling up Rushing for his MLB debut.<\/p>\n
