The Los Angeles Dodgers placed catcher Will Smith on the 10-day injured list due to neck inflammation, retroactive to Monday. This comes after a series win against the Pittsburgh Pirates, during which Shohei Ohtani left with left knee inflammation and pitcher Justin Wrobleski sustained a right hamstring contusion. Manager Dave Roberts expressed cautious optimism that Ohtani could return for Friday's matchup against the Chicago White Sox, while Wrobleski is expected to make his next start. Chuckie Robinson was called up to serve as a backup catcher following Smith's injury.
