AI-synthesized · Bias removed · Facts only

Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Dalton Rushing was scratched from the lineup with a minor arm irritation, raising concerns about catching depth as Will Smith remains sidelined. The team is evaluating options ahead of the trade deadline.

The Pittsburgh Pirates removed Dalton Rushing from their starting lineup due to what has been described as minor arm irritation, according to yahoo_sports. The timing of this development comes as the Pirates are already without catcher Will Smith, who is expected to be out for at least another 3-4 weeks.

With Smith’s continued absence and now Rushing experiencing an issue, the Pirates may need to address their catching depth before Monday’s trade deadline. The report notes that this situation could prompt the team to seek a catcher via trade to provide additional support behind the plate.
