Dodgers Placing Will Smith on Injured List Amid Tight NL West Race
""It's still there. It doesn't feel great," Roberts said. "It's getting better each day but still not 100 percent. "I think after his first game back (Tuesday) and just feeling with all the tests we've done to come up negative and the swelling has dissipated ... we thought we'd be in a better spot," Roberts said. "But at least there's improvement each day.""
""there's just not enough improvement""
Will Smith was placed on the injured list after a hand injury from a foul ball failed to fully improve. Smith returned briefly but felt persistent discomfort and was scratched from a subsequent lineup. Manager Dave Roberts reported swelling has dissipated and tests returned negative, but Smith is not yet at full strength. Rookie Dalton Rushing is already on the injured list with a shin contusion, elevating Ben Rortvedt and Triple-A catcher Chuckie Robinson as the primary options. Robinson has not appeared in the majors this season but is producing at Triple-A.
