Dodgers’ Dave Roberts Noncommittal on Will Smith Starting NLDS Game 3
With the Los Angeles Dodgers looking to close out the NLDS at home on Wednesday, all eyes will be on All-Star catcher Will Smith and his possible availability as a starter.
Ben Rortvedt started the first two games in Philadelphia. Smith got into both contests initially as a pinch hitter going up against Philadelphia’s two tough left-handed starters in Cristopher Sanchez and Jesus Luzardo. Smith then stayed in the game and caught without any apparent issue.
