Dodgers Transfer Will Smith To 60-Day IL, Select Charlie Barnes
Smith's removal (.249 AVG, .385 xwOBA, 52 G) ends LAD's primary offensive weapon behind the plate mid-stretch as they sit 63-38. Barnes (7.50 ERA, 1.92 WHIP in 12 IP) enters as a raw replacement—his 3.00 K/9 and 4.50 BB/9 suggest depth relief rather than rotation help in a division lead.
