Will Smith is set to return from the injured list Tuesday, per MLB.com. The move comes as the Dodgers look to snap a rough stretch and get their lineup firing heading into September.

Will Smith has been out dealing with injury but his return should provide an immediate offensive boost to a lineup that’s been scuffling. Smith is a key part of the Dodgers’ core, and his bat in the middle of the order has been critical when healthy. Getting him back in the lineup gives the team another weapon and a proven hitter they can count on in tight situations.

The Dodgers have been grinding through August, particularly struggling in close games and against winning teams. Smith’s return addresses at least one of the offensive holes the team has had to navigate. His presence behind the plate and in the batter’s box will be felt immediately.
