Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith is not in the starting nine when they continue a series against the Washington Nationals on Tuesday evening. Smith has started in each of the past two contests. During this two-game stretch, he has tallied three hits with two RBI. Instead, the Dodgers will have Austin Barnes behind the dish and bat in the nine-hole. Through 11 games this season, Smith has posted an impressive .400/.550/.567 slash line with two doubles and one home run. Fantasy managers should expect the 30-year-old to return to the starting nine on Wednesday when he faces Washington right-hander Jake Irvin. Barnes is not worth targeting in DFS this evening, facing right-handed pitcher Brad Lord.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith (rest) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Smith returned from the injured list on Friday, but has gone hitless over the last two games. That being said, the Dodgers have decided to give Smith the day off on Sunday to rest and hopefully get back on track. In his absence, Austin Barnes will do the catching and bat ninth against left-hander Bailey Falter. Fantasy managers can pull Smith from their lineups on Sunday ahead of first pitch.--Andy Webb - RotoBaller

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith (wrist) is back behind the plate to catch right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto and is hitting sixth against the Pittsburgh Pirates and right-hander Paul Skenes for Friday's series opener at Dodger Stadium. Smith injured his left wrist in the loss to the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday and sat out of the series finale on Wednesday, but after an additional day off on Thursday, he's good to go on Friday. While those setting DFS lineups on Friday evening shouldn't consider Smith's matchup against Skenes to be an attractive one, the 30-year-old veteran should be returned to lineups in single-year fantasy formats. Smith comes into Friday's action hitting a robust .350/.453/.567 with a 1.02 OPS, three home runs, 15 RBI and eight runs scored in 60 at-bats. In three career at-bats against Skenes, he has one hit.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

Updating a previous report, Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith (wrist) woke up with a sore left wrist on Wednesday morning after injuring it while tagging out Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ on a play at the plate in the sixth inning of Tuesday's extra-inning loss. Smith isn't too concerned about it, but it's the reason why he's out of Wednesday's series finale at Wrigley Field. With a day off on Thursday, it sounds like there's a good chance that he will be back in action in L.A. for Friday's series opener against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Austin Barnes is catching and batting ninth on Wednesday against Cubs lefty Matthew Boyd. Fantasy managers have to be crossing their fingers that Smith's wrist injury doesn't linger and ruin what has been an excellent start to his 2025 season. Through 20 games, the two-time All-Star is slashing .350/.453/.567 with a 1.02 OPS, three homers and 15 RBI.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith will get a rest day on Wednesday versus the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. Austin Barnes will do the catching in what will be a bullpen day for the Dodgers' pitching staff and will hit ninth against Cubs left-hander Matthew Boyd. Smith had a 2-for-4 day in a wild 11-10 loss to Chicago in 10 innings on Tuesday night and hit his third home run of the season while driving in two runs. The 30-year-old former first-rounder has been on fire at the plate in his first 60 at-bats in 2025, recording 21 hits for a .350 batting average to go along with 15 RBI, a steal, eight runs scored, a .453 on-base percentage, .567 slugging percentage and 1.02 OPS. The two-time All-Star won't keep this pace up, but it's a reminder he is still a high-end offensive threat at the weak catching position. Barnes is a low-upside DFS option on Wednesday and has never faced Boyd in his career.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
