The Los Angeles Dodgers activate catcher Will Smith and catcher Dalton Rushing from the injured list as they prepare for a series against the St. Louis Cardinals. The move boosts the club at the start of September, when MLB rosters expand.
Multiple outlets report that the Dodgers also activate left-hander Justin Wrobleski from the injured list. Yahoo Sports adds that along with the IL activations, the Dodgers recall infielder Alex Freeland from Triple-A using the two additional active roster spots available for the rest of the season.
The New York Post frames the timing as a response to the Dodgers’ recent offensive struggles, noting Smith’s absence of nearly three months due to an inflamed disc in his neck. Other reports focus more on the roster and availability changes leading into the Cardinals series, without emphasizing the team’s performance context.
