Will Smith Will be Available to Catch in NLDS
Will Smith (hand) will be available to catch in the National League Division Series against the Philadelphia Phillies, according to David Vassegh of 570 LA Sports. However, Roberts failed to disclose if Smith would return to catch in Game 1 of the series at Citizens Bank Park on Saturday. Smith's return will be a big boost to an already strong Dodgers team as they look to repeat as World Series champions this year. With the 30-year-old three-time All-Star sidelined late in the regular season and in the wild-card series against the Cincinnati Reds, Ben Rortvedt served as the Dodgers' primary backstop. Smith had yet another solid campaign in 2025, hitting a career-best .296 (107-for-362) with 17 long balls, 61 RBI, and 64 runs in 110 games played. He hasn't played since Sept. 9, though, so there could be a rust factor offensively for Smith as he returns for the NLDS.
