Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith will not return from the injured list this weekend despite an earlier target of Friday, June 19. Manager Dave Roberts said Smith remains limited by the neck injury and is scheduled to receive an injection to reduce sensation from the affected area. Roberts stated that Smith underwent a scan as part of ongoing evaluation.
The three-time All-Star has continued baseball activities, including a full workout on Tuesday, but the team is prioritizing a full recovery before activation. "He feels OK, not great," Roberts said. " Smith might not travel with the Dodgers when the club begins a road trip Monday in Minnesota.
ESPN reported the delay after Roberts addressed Smith's status ahead of the weekend series.
