Will Smith faces rehab setback, remains on injured list for Dodgers

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith, who has been on the injured list since June 11 due to neck inflammation, has experienced a setback in his rehabilitation. Smith has not appeared in a game since June 5. The team hopes he can resume baseball activities soon and return by August at the earliest. While the Dodgers currently maintain the best record in baseball, his absence is significant as he has been a key player during the team's recent championship runs. Dalton Rushing continues to fill in as catcher, performing adequately in Smith's absence, with a.254 batting average and ten home runs this season.
