Smith acknowledged during a radio interview with David Vassegh over the weekend that he suffered the injury when he was hit by a pitch in April.
LOS ANGELES — Dodgers catcher Will Smith made his first All-Star Game while playing with a broken rib for much of the season’s first half.
“It feels 100 percent now. Haven’t felt it for a month or two months, really. I was probably still guarding it unknowingly. Probably threw me off a little bit but you go out and try to help us win every night.” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said the team’s staff thinks the dropoff in Smith’s offensive production could be a result of changes in his swing prompted by the injury.
Ferguson and right-hander Brusdar Graterol “would be at the top of the list” to be used as ‘openers’ in a playoff game, Roberts said, with Shelby Miller also an option. Veteran reliever Daniel Hudson took the mound for one simulated inning, facing hitters in another attempt to return from a knee injury suffered in July.
