Smith (concussion) is not expected to return during the Dodgers' current road trip, which runs through Thursday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith has missed 10 days while recovering from a concussion and is expected to miss at least five more. He's reportedly making progress, but it will be Austin Barnes and Austin Wynns who remain the Dodgers' catchers for the conclusion of the weekend series against the Cubs as well as the upcoming series against the Pirates.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Thursday that he doesn't expect Smith (concussion) to return during the weekend series against the Cubs, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters before Tuesday's game against the Mets that Smith (concussion) is "days away" from being activated from the injured list, but it won't be before Thursday's game against the Cubs, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith still has a few boxes to check and he won't be able to do so before the series against the Cubs begins Thursday. The Dodgers are understandably taking every precaution they can with their starting backstop, and while he has a chance to return this week, there are no guarantees when coming back from a head injury.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

The Dodgers have signed Austin Wynns in a corresponding move, but Austin Barnes should see the majority of reps behind the plate while Smith is out.

EDGE Analysis

Austin Barnes will once again be behind the plate. Smith has missed the last two games because of the undisclosed illness and will miss at least one more with Hoornstra believing that there could be a roster move coming. For now, Smith is still considered day-to-day, but the results of the testing will go a long way towards determining his status for next week.
