Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts provided an update regarding catcher Will Smith after he exited Tuesday’s Cactus League game against the Cincinnati Reds.
Smith, who was hit by a pitch on his left knee, was pinch ran for as a precaution, according to Roberts. He would have only caught one more inning if he stayed in the game, per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic.
Hunter Feduccia replaced Smith behind the plate after Smith was lifted in the bottom of the fourth inning.
Smith has been dealing with a lingering ankle injury since last June, when he first sustained it during a series against the Yankees.
