Three-Inning Save: Dalton Rushing & Will Klein have elbow surgery, but just rest for Shohei Ohtani

Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani will not need surgery for his left knee nor right biceps injuries, instead advised to rest this offseason. But catcher Dalton Rushing and pitcher Will Klein did have elbow surgeries on October 21.

Rushing had an internal brace procedure to repair a partially torn UCL, and will need at least nine months before catching again, so after the 2027 All-Star break. He’s expected to be able to hit well before then. Klein had surgery to remove bone chips and clean up a bone spur in his right elbow, the injury that sidelined him after July 31. Klein is expected to be ready for spring training.

Plus, we look at the Dodgers roster at the start of the offseason, and see what needs might arise.
