Availability
Will Smith went 1-for-4 in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks with a home run, one run scored, and two RBI.
Fantasy Impact
Smith has three hits, two homers, and five RBI through the first three games of the season. He's batting in a prime spot of a high-powered offense, but has a history of sitting one to two times a week. Still, he's a top catching option.
Will Smith went 2-for-4 with a home run, one run scored, and three RBi in the win over the Diamondbacks on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
He batted fifth in game one, right behind the quartet of elite production that includes Ohtani, Tucker, Betts, and Freeman. His potential for RBi is going to be huge. Although he will share with Daulton Rushing, Smith should be one of the best catchers in the league for fantasy whenever he's in the lineup.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Will Smith will bat cleanup against left-handed starters to open the season.
Fantasy Impact
Smith will flip with Freddie Freeman in the lineup against lefties. It is not a guarantee it remains the same all season.
Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Will Smith will be available to catch in the National League Division Series against the Philadelphia Phillies.
Fantasy Impact
Roberts did not confirm if Smith would start Game 1 on Saturday, but it appears that Smith is close to making his postseason debut. He owns a .200/.283/.371 slash line across 210 postseason at-bats.
Will Smith is expected to be available as a pinch-hitter in the Dodgers Wild Card Series against the Reds.
Fantasy Impact
Smith is working his way back from a hand injury. He has officially made the roster for the Wild Card Series.
