Dodgers expect Will Smith back for series against Cardinals

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith is scheduled to rejoin the team Tuesday before their three-game home series against the St. Louis Cardinals. Smith has been out of the MLB lineup since June with neck inflammation caused by an inflamed disc. He recently completed a four-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City, where he recorded a.831 OPS over 13 at-bats. The Dodgers utilized Hunter Feduccia and Ben Rortvedt at the catcher position during his absence. As MLB rosters expand to 28 players on Tuesday, the team faces roster decisions regarding its catching depth. Manager Dave Roberts indicated that pitcher Justin Wrobleski is also nearing a return from his time with Oklahoma City.
