Dodgers Activate Pair of All-Stars in C Will Smith, LHP Justin Wrobleski
Will Smith returns after missing since early June as the Dodgers add catcher Dalton Rushing and left-hander Justin Wrobleski for the stretch run.
- On Tuesday, the Los Angeles Dodgers activated three-time All-Star catcher Will Smith, catcher Dalton Rushing, and LHP Justin Wrobleski from the injured list as the roster expanded from 26 to 28 players.
- Smith had missed nearly three months with a neck injury, while Rushing recovered for one month from a torn UCL and Wrobleski returned after missing two weeks with forearm inflammation.
- To accommodate these returns, Los Angeles recalled infielder Alex Freeland from Triple-A Oklahoma City, optioned outfielder Alek Thomas, and designated catcher Ben Rortvedt for assignment.
- Rushing will serve as a left-handed bat off the bench rather than catching due to his injury, providing the Dodgers with offensive depth entering the final month.
- While top prospect James Tibbs III remains in Triple-A, the Dodgers anticipate the return of right-handed pitcher Blake Treinen from the 60-day injured list soon.
