Dodgers Injury News: Walker Buehler, JD Martinez, Rojas, Smith, and More

As the Dodgers play their final game in the month of April, they do so with some positive updates on a few injured players. Before Saturday night’s game, Dave Roberts shared the latest news with media. Here’s where things stand with a few Dodgers on the mend.

Why is Will Smith the DH?

First, let’s talk Will Smith. The catcher was activated off the injured list on Friday but started at the DH spot as he makes his way back from being sidelined for two-plus weeks with concussion symptoms. He started there again on Saturday night, but the expectation is that he’ll be back behind the plate on Sunday to catch Noah Syndergaard.
