Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith began his rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on August 26, 2026, after being sidelined since early June. In his first game, Smith went 1-for-3, featuring a two-run home run in the fifth inning and demonstrated solid defensive skills by throwing out a base runner. He had a.720 OPS in 52 games prior to his injury. The Dodgers look forward to his return as they currently lack offensive depth behind the plate while both Smith and fellow catcher Dalton Rushing are recovering from injuries.
