Overview

  • Will Smith went on the 10-day injured list retroactive to Sept. 10 with a right-hand bone bruise after clean X-rays, CT and MRI but persistent swelling.
  • Chuckie Robinson was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City to back up Ben Rortvedt, with rookie Dalton Rushing still on the IL but eligible to return Tuesday.
  • Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said there was not enough improvement to keep Smith active and indicated the club is managing the injury with the postseason in mind.
  • Max Muncy, who was hit on the right wrist Friday, was cleared and returned to the lineup Saturday.
  • The Giants placed first baseman Dominic Smith on the 10-day IL with a right hamstring strain and reinstated Jerar Encarnacion, as Bob Melvin labeled the injury moderate with recovery timelines that could overlap the final 15 games.
