Will Smith is not in the Dodgers’ starting lineup for Sunday’s regular season finale against the Giants.

There’s nothing wrong with the hard-hitting backstop, it’s just a routine day of rest. Hunter Feduccia will do the catching for the Dodgers and will bat eighth against Giants’ right-hander Carson Seymour on Sunday afternoon in San Francisco.

Will Smith is absent from the Dodgers’ starting lineup for Thursday evening’s skirmish against the Padres.

It’s nothing more than a routine night off for the 31-year-old backstop. Hunter Feduccia will start in his place behind the dish and bat eighth for the Dodgers against Padres’ right-hander Nick Pivetta.

Will Smith went 1-for-4 with a solo homer against the Padres on Tuesday.

Smith’s only hit of the game left the yard as he took Griffin Canning deep for a solo homer in the seventh inning to extend the Dodgers’ lead. The 31-year-old backstop is up to 10 homers and 34 RBI while hitting .248/.341/.420 across 264 plate appearances. Four of his homers have come since his return from the injured list on September 1 following a three-month absence with a neck injury.

Will Smith went 3-for-5 with a homer and two RBI versus the Giants on Saturday.

Smith is hitting .250/.362/.521 with three homers in 16 games since coming off the IL on Sept. 1. He was catching a second straight game tonight, so if he plays Sunday, it figures to be as a DH. That seems more likely to happen if Kyle Tucker needs a day off due to his leg.

Will Smith is in line for a day off Wednesday, manager Dave Roberts said.

The Dodgers still want Smith getting plenty of rest after his long IL stint with a neck injury. He’ll get two days off with the off day Thursday and then play two out of three this weekend.

Will Smith went 1-for-3 with a solo homer in the Dodgers’ 3-2 win over the Reds on Tuesday.

Smith got the scoring started on Tuesday with a solo home run off Nick Lodolo in the first inning. He was later hit by a pitch in the fifth. It was Smith’s seventh home run this season and first since May 29 after missing nearly three months with a neck injury. He’d been off to a slow start in his return, going 2-for-17 so far this month.

Will Smith is out of the lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Cardinals.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said earlier this week that they’re going to manage Smith’s workload carefully in his return from a neck issue that cost him nearly three months. He’s unlikely to catch back-to-back games to close out the season. He went 1-for-5 with a double and a pair of RBI in his first game back on Tuesday. It’ll be Hunter Fedducia behind the plate in this one.

Dodgers activated C Will Smith from the 60-day injured list.

Smith is finally back from his neck injury after going 4-for-14 with two doubles and a homer in five minor league games. The Dodgers will probably use him fairly carefully this month, but it should be safe to get him back into fantasy lineups. The 31-year-old backstop is handling the catching duties and hitting fifth against the Cardinals on Tuesday in his return from the injured list.

Will Smith (neck) went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer in a minor league rehab game for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday.

Smith started behind the plate and logged five innings at catcher in his rehab debut. The 31-year-old franchise backstop has been out with a lingering neck issue since mid-June. He’s probably going to require a handful of additional rehab games given the lengthy layoff before he’s back in Los Angeles.

Will Smith (neck) will begin a minor league rehab assignment at Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday.

Smith has finally progressed to the point where he’s ready for live game action after battling a neck issue since the middle of June. It’s not known how many games he’ll need there before he’s ready to rejoin the Dodgers, but it’s possible he could be ready by the end of next week.
