Will Smith Out with Back Tightness, Max Muncy Sidelined by Illness
CONFIRMEDWill Smith is out of Saturday’s lineup against the Cubs with back tightness — his second time sitting in the last three games. Dalton Rushing takes over behind the plate. Max Muncy is also scratched due to illness, per DodgerBlue.com staff. Two core bats missing from a lineup that’s already been struggling to produce is not great timing. We’re not at panic level yet, but Smith’s back bearing watching — repeat absences for a catcher are the kind of thing that can quietly become a bigger issue.
