Will Smith has missed the series against the Cubs so far while dealing with an undisclosed illness, as Dave Roberts called it. On Sunday, the team placed Smith on the 7-day injured list with concussion symptoms. Before the game, Roberts revealed the sources of the catcher’s injury.
MLB.com beat writer Juan Toribio reported the news on Twitter.
In 11 games this season, he’s hitting .333 with 3 home runs and 12 RBIs while posting a 1.058 OPS. Last night, Roberts alluded to Smith undergoing “more testing” after he missed his second straight game.
