Will Smith Shut Down; Expected to Miss at Least Another Month

Will Smith has been completely shut down and is expected to remain sidelined for at least another month. The injury forces the Dodgers to evaluate their options at catcher before the trade deadline. With Smith, who has caught 393 innings this season, unavailable, Dalton Rushing is poised to take over the team's lead in innings caught. The loss of the veteran starter significantly shifts the workload behind the plate for Los Angeles.
