SAN FRANCISCO -- Ten days after taking a foul tip off his right hand in Pittsburgh, catcher Will Smith was placed on the 10-day injured list ahead of Saturday night's game against the Giants at Oracle Park. The move is retroactive to Sept. 10.
Chuckie Robinson was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City to take Smith's spot on the roster. He'll back up Ben Rortvedt, who will take over as the starter with rookie Dalton Rushing also on the IL with a right shin contusion .
Smith sustained a bone bruise after his right hand was struck by a foul tip on Sept. 3 at PNC Park. He returned to the starting lineup on Tuesday after missing five games. Because X-rays, a CT scan and an MRI came back clean, the Dodgers kept him on the active roster instead of placing him on the injured list.
