"We're optimistic that it's going to heal quickly, but we're at the mercy of how quickly that happens,"
"We don't really know, but we're optimistic it'll be pretty fast. But beyond that, we're not sure."
"We're just going to keep treating it up, and when he gets to a point where he doesn't have symptoms, we'll re-X-ray,"

Will Smith was struck by a foul ball on Sept. 2 and experienced continued discomfort in his right hand. The Los Angeles Dodgers placed Smith on the 10-day injured list on Sept. 11 after limited progress toward returning. A subsequent MRI revealed a hairline fracture that will end Smith's regular season. The team expects the fracture to heal but cannot predict the timeline, and Smith's readiness for the postseason remains uncertain. The Dodgers will monitor symptoms, re-X-ray when pain resolves, and consider carrying three catchers on the postseason roster depending on his recovery.
