Will Smith Scratched With Hand Soreness on Wednesday
Will Smith (hand) on Wednesday against the Colorado Rockies because of soreness in his right hand, L.A. announced. Smith has been dealing with a bone bruise that kept him out for five straight games before he returned to the lineup Tuesday. Manager Dave Roberts said last week that Smith will likely have to manage the pain for the rest of the season. It was too much to bear on Wednesday, leading the Dodgers to replace Smith with Ben Rortvedt shortly before the game started. With the Dodgers off Thursday, Smith will have an extra day to rest. His primary backup, Dalton Rushing (shin), went on the IL on Sept. 6 with a right-shin contusion. That means if Smith has to miss more time, the Dodgers will likely recall Chuckie Robinson from Triple-A Oklahoma City to serve as insurance behind Rortvedt.
