    • 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 Yesterday, 2:07 pm
       
    • Rockies place Elias Díaz (calf) on 10-day IL
      Rockies placed C Elias Díaz on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to June 11, with a left calf strain.

      Advice: The 33-year-old backstop tried to take things on a day-to-day basis, but ultimately the Rockies thought that it would be better to sit him down for an extended period of time to allow him to fully heal. Nolan Jones was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move on Friday. Rotoworld Friday, 2:59 pm

    • Lands on IL with calf strain
      The Rockies placed Diaz on the 10-day injured list Friday due to a left calf strain, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports..

      Advice: Diaz was removed in the bottom half of the first inning of Monday's game against the Twins after straining his left calf while running to first base. He was held out for the rest of that series in the hopes he would be available for a weekend set against Pittsburgh, but instead the 33-year-old heads to the IL. Jacob Stallings got the start at catcher the last two games, and he figures to see most of the action behind the plate while Diaz is sidelined, though Hunter Goodman will provide some depth and will start at catcher for Saturday's game, per Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com.

    • 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
       
    • Elias Díaz remains out of the lineup on Wednesday
      Elias Díaz (calf) remains out of the Rockies’ lineup on Wednesday against the Twins.

      Advice: Díaz felt calf tightness in Monday’s game and didn’t play on Tuesday. As of now, there is no indication that the Rockies will put him on the IL, but Jacob Stallings will start again on Wednesday. Rotoworld Wednesday, 9:25 am

    • 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.

    • Remains out Wednesday
      Diaz (calf) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Minnesota.

      Advice: As expected, Diaz will get another day to rest his left calf injury. The hope is that he will be ready to play Friday in Denver versus the Pirates following the Rockies' off day Thursday, but his availability for the weekend isn't guaranteed. Jacob Stallings will start at catcher Wednesday. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 7:03 am

    • 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
       
    • Elias Díaz out again Tuesday against Twins
      Elias Díaz (calf) is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Twins.

      Advice: Díaz left Monday’s game with tightness in his left calf, and he’ll miss at least one more game while recovering. Jacob Stallings will be the starting backstop and hit fifth with Díaz on the bench. Rotoworld Tuesday, 12:19 pm
