Will Smith Remains Dodgers Catcher Despite Severe Postseason Slump

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith is hitting just .053 in the postseason after walking in four plate appearances during a 2-1 Game 1 NLCS loss to Milwaukee. Despite his offensive struggles, manager Dave Roberts confirmed Smith will not be benched for backup Hunter Feduccia, citing his crucial value guiding a pitching staff that has allowed just 10 postseason runs. Roberts is considering moving Smith in the batting order as the catcher works back from a summer neck injury.
