Episode Details

Dodgers catcher Will Smith sits out Saturday’s game with a stiff neck, set to return Sunday—just as he was only slated to play two of three games in the series. Dalton Rushing steps in behind the plate, batting eighth. This isn’t Smith’s first physical hiccup this season—he missed time earlier with a back issue. Manager Dave Roberts had previously given him days off to recalibrate his swing, as Smith felt he was hitting hard but not in the right direction. His June slump (2-for-13 in first four games) adds pressure, but the hope is this short break helps him rebound for the series finale.
