The Los Angeles Dodgers announced their lineup for the series finale against the Cubs, notably missing catcher Will Smith. The decision comes after Smith suffered a wrist injury during a play at the plate in Tuesday's game. Although he is not overly concerned about the injury, the Dodgers opted to give him an additional day off, further emphasizing their commitment to player health management amid a packed schedule with multiple off days this week.
"Will Smith was out of the Dodgers lineup on Wednesday due to a sore left wrist after a play where he tagged Ian Happ out in the sixth inning."
"Despite three off days this week, Will Smith's sore wrist led the Dodgers to give him another day off for precautionary reasons, indicating the team's cautious approach to player health."
