Smith was officially recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Smith trades places with Austin Barnes and figures to see immediate starting chances with the Dodgers. Smith showcased himself well during his brief time in the majors this season with a .269/.345/.654 slash line and three homers in nine games.

Smith will be recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City prior to Friday's game against the Nationals, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angels Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith has pieced together a .269/.381/.605 slash line with 20 homers and 54 RBI over 61 games at Triple-A this season, earning him another chance to stick in the big leagues. He figures to share the catching duties with Russell Martin moving forward.

Smith (wrist) went 1-for-4 with a walk, a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Triple-A Oklahoma City's win over San Antonio on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old got crossed up behind the plate Wednesday and the pitch hit his right wrist, forcing Smith from the game. He was then held out Thursday, but Smith was back a day later and proved his health with his 19th long ball with Oklahoma City this season (22nd total). Smith is on the 40-man roster and could return to Los Angeles before Sept. 1 if there is an injury, or if the Dodgers decide to move on from Austin Barnes as the primary starter.

Smith was removed from Wednesday's game with Triple-A Oklahoma City with an apparent right wrist injury, Tommy Birch of the Des Moines Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith got crossed up behind the plate and appeared to be hit in the right wrist by the pitch, and he was unable to deliver accurate warm-up throws to remain in the game. The 24-year-old should be considered day-to-day until more is known on the injury.

Smith (oblique) has been activated from the 7-day injured list, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old backstop rejoined Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday, going 1-for-1 with an RBI. Manager Dave Roberts said he wants to give Smith regular at-bats that he might not see with the big club, which could keep him in Triple-A for the moment. However, he's been tearing up the Pacific Coast League and has fared well in his brief stints at the big-league level this season, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see him get called back up at some point.

Smith (oblique) was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday, retroactive to June 26, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

With an OPS north of 1.000 with Oklahoma City and three homers in his small MLB sample (29 plate appearances), Smith has surpassed fellow Dodgers catching prospect Keibert Ruiz in the minds of many evaluators, and some even felt he would be an upgrade over Austin Barnes as the starter in Los Angeles. However, Smith's stellar season has been interrupted by a strained right oblique muscle and there is currently no timetable for his return.

Smith has been sent back down to Triple-A Oklahoma City, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith was called back up June 23 and cranked a pinch-hit walk-off home run in one of his five at-bats, but it will be a short stint as he'll head back to Oklahoma City as the corresponding roster move for the callup of Tony Gonsolin. Per Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register, manager Dave Roberts said sending Smith down "was a tough one" but that the 24-year-old needs regular at-bats that he wouldn't be able to get with the big club. Overall, Smith has slashed .269/.345/.654 in 26 big-league at-bats this season.

Smith hit a walkoff three-run home run as a pinch hitter against the Rockies on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

On the day he got called back up to the majors to take the roster spot of David Freese (hamstring), Smith made history by taking Scott Oberg deep in the ninth inning for the Dodgers' third consecutive game with a walkoff home run by a rookie. The 24-year-old has made quite an impression at the plate in his 22 at-bats this season, slashing .318/.375/.773 with three home runs -- two of which have been walkoffs.

Smith has been called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Dodgers placed David Freese (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list Sunday, clearing the way for Smith to get called up for a second stint with the big club this season. He was impressive in his first major-league action, slashing .286/.348/.619 with a pair of homers in 21 at-bats. He continued to mash in Triple-A after getting sent down June 6, so the 24-year-old will look to keep it rolling at the dish.

Smith went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Monday in a Triple-A game against El Paso.

EDGE Analysis

Monday marked the fifth consecutive game in which Smith had a homer, as he now leads the Triple-A club with 13 home runs through 47 games. He got his chance to show that his power translates to the major-league level -- Smith had two homers from May 28 to June 5 with the big-league club. The Dodgers have Austin Barnes and Russell Martin on the major-league depth chart, and even though Barnes has struggled recently (1-for-19 since returning from the injured list), manager Dave Roberts suggested Smith still needs to get regular at-bats, something he likely wouldn't be able to get with the Dodgers. Still, Smith has shown he can produce at every level, and could find himself back in the majors if any injuries arise or if Barnes' slump continues.
