In Friday's lineup Smith (wrist) is starting behind home plate and batting sixth against the Pirates on Friday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Impact Smith injured his left wrist during Tuesday's extra-innings loss to the Cubs while tagging Ian Happ at home plate in the sixth frame. Austin Barnes got the start Wednesday, but thanks to Thursday's off-day, Smith has been cleared to return to the lineup for Friday's series opener. Smith has started the season slashing .350/.453/.567 with one stolen base, eight runs scored, three home runs and 15 RBI in 75 plate appearances.

Nursing sore wrist Smith is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs after sustaining a sore left wrist in Tuesday's 11-10 extra-inning loss, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Impact Smith sustained the injury while tagging out Ian Happ at the plate in the sixth inning Tuesday, though the issue didn't stop him from hitting a double in his next at-bat in the top of the seventh and playing the final four frames behind the plate. The 30-year-old backstop apparently didn't experience any soreness until waking up Wednesday morning, but he isn't too concerned about the issue. Austin Barnes will draw the start at catcher Wednesday, but Smith expects to be ready to start Friday's series opener versus the Pirates following a team off day Thursday.

Sitting out Wednesday Smith is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Cubs, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Sensational start continues Tuesday Smith went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and a walk in Tuesday's extra-inning loss to the Cubs.

Impact Smith launched a homer, his third of the year, in the sixth inning to cut in Chicago's lead and make it a 7-5 game. The hard-hitting backstop does receive the occasional day off, but he's been sensational at the dish when available. Smith is slashing .350/.453/.567 with four doubles, 15 RBI, eight runs scored and one stolen base through 75 trips to the plate, and his RBI upside in fantasy should remain among the elites in a star-studded Dodgers lineup.
