Will Smith out of Dodgers’ lineup due to neck issue

Will Smith was scratched from the Dodgers’ lineup on Saturday due to a stiff neck, but manager Dave Roberts expects him to return for the next game against the Angels. Smith, batting .249 this season, has dealt with injuries previously but is not considered more worn down than in past seasons. Dalton Rushing replaced him and is noted to be better prepared for last-minute starts. Additionally, third baseman Max Muncy returned after an injury, while Tyler Glasnow was moved to the 60-day injured list.
