But according to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic, Dalton Rushing and the Los Angeles Dodgers now have legitimate reason to believe the injury may not require surgery or end his season. The slight UCL tear itself apparently wasn’t completely new information, either. Dalton Rushing will not need surgery and could return this season! But that's a problem the Dodgers would gladly attempt to solve if Rushing is healthy enough to swing. Considering the initial fears surrounding a UCL tear, that alone is encouraging news.
