AutoDraft Pro AI

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith remains active on the team's National League Division Series roster, as the club opted to carry three catchers for the postseason. Smith is continuing his recovery from a fractured hand, an injury that has limited him to only live at-bats in the past week. Despite being on the roster, he did not appear in the wild-card series. Manager Dave Roberts stated Friday that Smith "will be available to catch" in the NLDS, though his ability to start Game 1 against the Philadelphia Phillies was uncertain. Smith took more live at-bats during the team’s Friday night workout at Citizens Bank Park.
