The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Athletics, 9-3, on Wednesday as they improved to 28-15 on the season. Long balls poured down at Dodger Stadium<\/a>, including Hyeseong Kim\u2019s first-career home run in the big leagues.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the eventual victory, longtime veteran Austin Barnes<\/a> was designated for assignment. The longest-tenured Dodgers player not named Clayton Kershaw<\/a> helped lift two World Series trophies in L.A. and will be missed in the clubhouse and on the field.<\/p>\n

In a corresponding move, catcher Dalton Rushing<\/a>, the Dodgers\u2019 top prospect, was called up. He is set to make his MLB<\/a> debut behind home plate on Thursday, according to manager Dave Roberts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Although Rushing has experience at first base and in the outfield, Roberts assured the media that his top prospect would remain a catcher. The 24-year-old will hope that his .308 batting average from Triple-A this season translates to The Show. <\/p>\n
