According to David Vassegh of AM-570 on Twitter/X, Smith woke up with a sore left wrist Wednesday morning after banging it on a play at the plate Tuesday, when the All-Star catcher tagged the Cubs’ Ian Happ in the sixth inning of the Dodgers’ 11-10 loss.
Smith isn’t too concerned, according to Vassegh, but with a day off Thursday, manager Dave Roberts decided to give his starting catcher an extra day to recuperate.
Smith, 30, has been among the bright spots in the Dodgers’ lineup through the early going in 2025. He’s slashing .350/.453/.567 with three home runs and 15 RBIs in 20 games.
