Will Smith News
Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith (pectoral) is managing a pectoral issue but will return to the lineup Saturday against the Philadelphia Phillies. He was out of the lineup and didn't make an appearance in Friday's game. According to manager Dave Roberts, Smith will be the team's designated hitter on Saturday and then catch the team's next three games. The 27-year-old is slashing .260/.365/.397 with two home runs, 16 RBI, and 13 runs across 22 games in 2022. Smith is one of the top fantasy catchers in baseball, and managers should continue to roll with him this season.
Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith (chest) and outfielder Chris Taylor (knee) are both back in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Taylor sat out on Tuesday after fouling a ball off his knee during Monday's game. Smith, meanwhile, missed each of the last two games due to a minor right pectoral injury. Taylor is off to a rough start to May as he's struck out 14 times across 24 at-bats, slashing just .167/.231/.208 along the way. Smith has similarly struggled through the first third of the month as he's gone just 3-for-18 at the plate with no extra-base hits.
Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith (chest) is out of the team's starting lineup for the second straight day on Tuesday. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts stated that he is dealing with a right pectoral issue. Roberts clarified that the team is being cautious with Smith and that he expects Smith to play in one of the next few games. Austin Barnes will be getting his second straight start behind the plate for Tuesday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Smith is currently slashing .231/.342/.369 with two home runs, 13 RBI and 12 runs over 20 games on the year.

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith is a rising star at the catcher position. He slashed .289/.401/.579 in 2019, which is elite for a backstop. The .401 on-base percentage and .579 slugging percentage were each the second-highest rates among all catchers in the major leagues with a minimum of 35 plate appearances. After hitting 35 home runs between Triple-A and the majors in 2019, Smith clubbed eight homers in the 2020 shortened season. ATC projects him for 22 HRs in '21, so the power is real. Should the National league continue to adopt the designated hitter, Smith will be in line for extra at-bats. He started to pick up DH at-bats for the Dodgers down the stretch on his non-catching days, including during their postseason run. After a 163 wRC+ season in 2020, we would bet on the 25-year-old Fresh Prince of Los Angeles, especially if the DH is in effect in 2021.
