Dodgers need a healthy receiver after losing their two peak helmets in last week.
Will Smith, who made his third selection of consecutive stars this season, was placed on the 15 -day injured list on September 13, retroactive on September 10. Smith was struck by hand through a ball fault on September 3, opening the door for the recruit sensor Dalton Rushing, which made its own appearance on the list of injuries with a driving of the right Shin earlier this month, suffering from a hand injury on September 3, September 3.
Before the injury, Smith tried to forget a disappointing August who saw his season in 0.325 to 0.297 in early September.
Instead of Smith and Rushing, Ben Rortvedt had a loaded September. Rortvedt performed well in marble, striking. 286 and striking two circuits in 28 bundles this month.

While Rortvedt was reliable for the Dodgers, the team would really like to have its stars sensor behind the marble for the imminent playoffs. Unfortunately, the Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Smith’s resumption was at the “end of the stop” and improved at a slow pace. Roberts added that Smith would not face cleaning up before next week when the team wanted to give him as much time as possible to prepare for the playoffs.
Once the playoffs are, it is likely that Smith plays a certain degree of pain.
“There could be swings with one hand. I don’t know if he will use his top hand hand,” Roberts told journalists. “Regarding it, I’m not sure of that. It’s a kind of daily thing with that.”

The first Smith could return to the action is this Saturday, when the Dodgers welcome the Giants of San Francisco. According to Roberts’s tone, however, it is likely that Smith’s time on the injured list will extend beyond the minimum of 15 days.
“I think the days are getting closer, it will be subject to what he does,” said Roberts. “If two days after potential activation if he takes lives (live stick practice), it’s more plausible, right?” If it is not, probably not (Saturday).
