Dodgers Activate All-Star Catcher Will Smith from 60-Day IL

The Dodgers have activated three-time All-Star catcher Will Smith from the 60-day injured list following a three-month absence due to neck inflammation. Smith, who returns as part of the team's September roster expansion, is slated to bat fifth in his first game back against the Cardinals. His return provides a significant boost to the Dodgers' middle-order depth for the final month of the regular season.
