With active rosters expanding to 28 players on Tuesday, the Los Angeles Dodgers welcomed back Will Smith and several other contributors ahead of their series opener against the St.

The Dodgers welcomed back starting catcher Will Smith, backup Dalton Rushing and pitcher Justin Wrobleski from the injured list Tuesday, bolstering their bench and bullpen for the final month of the season.

Los Angeles Dodgers activate Will Smith, Dalton Rushing and other contributors in the final month of the MLB season.

Will Smith offers the most potential for an offensive spark for a team that has struggled to score runs the past two months, but the catcher will only play every other day as he works his way back from a neck injury.

The Los Angeles Dodgers activated All-Star catcher Will Smith, Dalton Rushing, Justin Wrobleski and more in a massive roster move.

With two extra active roster spots for the rest of the season, the Dodgers also activated left-hander Justin Wrobleski from the IL and recalled infielder Alex Freeland from Triple-A.

The All-Star catcher started behind the plate and batted fifth in the Dodgers' order. Smith flied out in each of his first three plate appearances before roping a two-run double to left field in the seventh inning.

Will Smith completed his rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City and is now set to make his long-awaited return to the Los Angeles Dodgers when active rosters expand on Tuesday.
