Will Smith is likely going to head to the injured-list with a stiff/sore neck. (Ken Gurnick on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

Smith had been day-to-day with the neck issue since Wednesday when he exited the Dodgers game versus the Padres after trying to field a bunt. While his neck has shown slight improvement, he isn't progressing as quickly as the team had hoped. Smith had gotten off to a sluggish start this year with a .188/.341/.406 batting line with two home runs and eight RBI. Austin Barnes has filled in at catcher and figures to play everyday while Smith is out.
