The Atlanta Braves have reportedly claimed catcher Chuckie Robinson off waivers from the Los Angeles Dodgers, per The Athletic's David O'Brien. He has been optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett. To make room on the 40-man roster, pitcher Daysbel Hernandez was moved to the 60-day IL. Robinson, 30, made his MLB debut with the Cincinnati Reds in 2022 and has also seen action with the Chicago White Sox and Dodgers.
Smith has remained active, but Dalton Rushing was put on the 10-day injured list Saturday. Rushing was removed from the series opener against the Baltimore Orioles after fouling a pitch off his right knee/shin. An X-ray on Friday night came back negative and follow-up CT scan also did not reveal any sort of fracture. Rushing nevertheless is now due to miss time because of what Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has deemed a deep bone bruise in his right shin.
