William Smith Placed On IL, Keibert Ruiz Set For Debut

4 years agoLos Angeles Dodgers catcher William Smith was placed on the 10-day injured list prior to Saturday’s contest against the Angels, paving the way for the Dodgers’ No. 3 prospect, Keibert Ruiz, to earn his first big league call-up. Smith’s official injury designation is neck inflammation, which has kept him out of the mix and allowed Austin Barnes to see primary catching duties, although the division of labor moving forward remains to be seen. Smith produced a .341 on-base percentage through his first 14 games, a by-product of walking more times (eight) than he has struck out (five). Neither Barnes nor Ruiz remains a season-long asset at this stage, as the Dodgers don’t seem overly concerned about an extended absence for Smith.--Jesse Borek
