"The Los Angeles Dodgers still have All-Star catcher Will Smith's status for Game 3 of the NLDS up in the air."
"Roki Sasaki has been electric since his return to the mound after more than four months on the injured list, but instead of it being out of the rotation, the 23-year-old has been a pivotal member of the bullpen."
""I know that the hamstring, he tweaked it a little bit," Roberts said. "Obviously having the day off, he won't start tomorrow, but I'm sure he'll be ready for whatever we need from him tomorrow in the game. But I think he'll be okay.""
Will Smith's Game 3 availability for the NLDS is uncertain after he served as a pinch replacement and both batted and caught in Games 1 and 2 after replacing Ben Rortvedt. The Dodgers could use a similar plan in Game 3. Rookie right-hander Roki Sasaki made history with a save and has been electric since returning from more than four months on the injured list, serving as a pivotal bullpen member rather than returning to the rotation. Miguel Rojas exited with a hamstring tweak; he will have a day off and is expected to be available when needed.
