Are the Los Angeles Dodgers going to have their All-Star catcher at full health as they look to repeat as World Series champions this fall? Right now, Dodgers fans are just hoping that Will Smith returns to the lineup at all, although new comments from manager Dave Roberts don’t make the situation sound rosy.
With rookie catcher Dalton Rushing also recently injured (recalled Tuesday), Los Angeles has been relying on Ben Rortvedt to keep things afloat, and he’s performed admirably.
Still, fans are concerned about Smith as he continues to recover from a bone bruise on his right hand that sent him to the 10-day IL on Sept.
