    • On bench Saturday
      Smith is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

      Advice: Smith will give way to Austin Barnes behind the dish for the second time in three days, with Barnes batting ninth Saturday. In 256 plate appearances, Smith owns a .848 OPS with 10 homers and a 16.0 percent strikeout rate. Rotowire.com Today, 2:07 pm
       
    • Idle Thursday
      Smith isn't in the Dodgers' lineup Thursday versus the Rangers.

      Advice: Smith will get some scheduled rest after starting in five consecutive games. In that span, the catcher went 5-for-19 with a homer versus the Yankees and Rangers. With the 29-year-old on the bench Thursday, Austin Barnes will start behind the dish and bat ninth. Rotowire.com Thursday, 3:14 pm
       
    • Homers in blowout win
      Smith went 3-for-4 with a three-run homer, a walk and two runs scored in Tuesday's 15-2 win over the Rangers.

      Advice: Smith got off to a quick start by taking Dane Dunning deep in the first inning to put the Dodgers up 3-0. He'd wind up reaching base three more times before all was said and done and racked up his seventh game of at least three hits this year. Smith has eight hits and six RBI in seven games so far this month. He's now slashing .296/.364/.509 with 10 homers, 42 RBI, 35 runs and a 23:38 BB:K in 247 plate appearances and is trending toward a second-career All-Star appearance this summer.

    • Will Smith goes 3-for-4, hits three-run homer
      Will Smith went 3-for-4 with a three-run homer and a walk Tuesday as the Dodgers crushed the Rangers 14-2.

      Advice: Smith started the game off right, hitting his homer in the bottom of the first. He later settled for a measly single when the Dodgers exploded for four homers and seven runs against Grant Anderson in the sixth inning; Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman, Teoscar Hernández and Jason Heyward all went deep then. Smith is batting .296/.364/.509 with 10 homers, and he should be an easy choice to go to a second All-Star Game this summer. Rotoworld Tuesday, 11:24 pm
       
    • J.T. Realmuto to miss one month after knee surgery
      Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski told reporters J.T. Realmuto will miss roughly one month following right knee surgery.

      Advice: Dombrowski added that Realmuto has opted to undergo surgery later this week after playing through a small meniscus tear in his right knee for an unspecified period. Given the timing of the surgery, it sounds like Realmuto has a chance to return shortly after next month’s All-Star break. The 33-year-old backstop has been a central component of Philadelphia’s remarkable start to the year, thanks to his stellar defensive contributions, while also posting a solid .720 OPS with seven homers and one steal through 51 games.

    • Undergoing meniscus surgery
      The Phillies placed Realmuto on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with right knee pain, and he's scheduled to undergo a meniscectomy Wednesday.

      Advice: According to Matt Gelb of The Athletic, Realmuto has been playing through the injury for nearly a month, and the Phillies elected to address the injury now rather than attempting to wait things out. Gelb also reports that Realmuto will miss roughly a month, potentially setting him up for a mid-July return from the shelf. Rafael Marchan was called up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move and should serve as the backup catcher to Garrett Stubbs. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 10:36 am

    • J.T. Realmuto to undergo right knee surgery
      Phillies placed C J.T. Realmuto on the 10-day injured list with right knee pain.

      Advice: Realmuto will undergo right knee meniscectomy surgery Wednesday in Philadelphia. The catcher will be out indefinitely, but it’s not believed to be a season-ending procedure. While Realmuto is out, the Phillies will likely have Drew Stubbs are their starting backstop, and Rafael Marchan was recalled from Triple-A to take Realmuto’s place on the roster. Even if not a season-ender, this is a blow to fantasy managers and the first-place Phillies, to be sure. Rotoworld Tuesday, 10:34 am

    • Getting breather
      Smith is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Pittsburgh.

      Advice: Smith started the first two games of the series, going 3-for-7 with a double, a walk and an RBI. He will yield to Austin Barnes for the series finale as the Dodgers try to avoid a sweep. Rotowire.com Thursday, 12:09 pm
