Dodgers could turn to forgotten acquisition even after Will Smith avoided disaster

In the bottom of the second in the Dodgers' Wednesday game against the Pirates, Will Smith took a foul ball off the back of his throwing hand. He finished out the inning but was attended to by a trainer in between innings, and was replaced in the lineup and behind the plate by Dalton Rushing in the top of the third.

Dodgers fans couldn't help but feel some exasperation on top of concern — the Dodgers are just starting to get their injured players back, and Smith has been one of LA's most consistent hitters in a season that could get MVP consideration by the end of this year.
