Dodgers activate Will Smith and Dalton Rushing from injured list

The Los Angeles Dodgers announced a series of roster moves on Tuesday to bolster their postseason depth. Catchers Will Smith and Dalton Rushing were activated from the injured list, as was pitcher Justin Wrobleski. To facilitate these additions, the team designated outfielder Alek Thomas and catcher Ben Rortvedt for assignment. Infielder Alex Freeland was also added to the roster. Smith is slated to return to his primary catching duties, while Rushing may provide value as a designated hitter due to a recent arm injury. These transactions follow a difficult month of offensive and bullpen struggles for the team. The organization also indicated the moves reflect anticipation regarding the eventual return of outfielder Andy Pages from a wrist injury.
