On Saturday night, one of the newest Dodger youngsters made his first highlight reel play by blasting a home run into the left-field stands to give the Dodgers a win. For Will Smith, it was his first big league home run and hopefully the first of many for him in Dodger blue. Although it’s only been fourteen at-bats for Will, he is trying to force the Dodgers’ hand to keep him on the roster.
Austin Barnes is eligible to be activated next weekend in San Francisco, meaning a roster move is due soon. Austin Barnes and Russell Martin have both played various infield positions so the Dodgers could choose to go with three catchers on their active roster.
