Will Smith ‘Day-to-Day’ With Back Tightness, Misses Second Straight Game
CONFIRMEDWill Smith is out of the lineup for a second straight day against the Cubs with back tightness (and this one bears watching). Dave Roberts had said he expected Smith back for today’s series finale after yesterday’s 12-4 blowout win, but that didn’t happen. Dalton Rushing is back behind the plate instead. Roberts is calling Smith day-to-day, per Dodger Blue — but when a guy misses a game he was supposed to start, you pay attention. Back tightness that doesn’t clear up overnight is a different conversation than a routine rest day.
