Will Smith Injury: Hopeful for Tuesday return

Manager Dave Roberts stated he's hopeful Smith (hand) will return to the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Smith isn't in the starting nine for Monday's matchup due to a bruised right hand but it closing in on a return. Assuming he gets the green light to start behind the dish Tuesday, Ben Rortvedt would return to the backup catcher role.
