The Los Angeles Dodgers are currently taking on the Minnesota Twins in the first game of their series this week.
As I’m typing this, the score remains 1-1 in the contest. Shohei Ohtani hit a leadoff home run, and Twins’ slugger Byron Buxton returned the favor in the bottom of the first inning.
Also in the game, a scary moment transpired with Dodgers catcher Dalton Rushing, who had to be removed from the game with an apparent head injury.
MLB World Reacts to Dalton Rushing Injury

UnderdogMLB broke the news that Dalton Rushing has been removed from the Dodgers-Twins game due to a concussion:
Dodgers’ reporter Fabian Ardaya wrote: “Here was said foul tip, on the first pitch of the game. Dodgers haven’t officially said why Rushing exited yet.”
It looks like a pretty scary incident, and the Dodgers already lost Kyle Tucker to injury in this game. Manager Dave Roberts will likely have more to say after the game, but for now, Dodgers fans must hold their breath.
@DodgersNation wrote (during the Twins game): “The Dodgers announce that Dalton Rushing has left today’s game with a concussion after taking a foul tip to the mask on the first pitch. LA has now lost Rushing and Kyle Tucker in the same day. Absolutely brutal with Teo & Will Smith on the IL.”
