Smith has recovered enough from his hand injury to be used as a pinch-hitter. Conforto and Anthony Banda were the odd men out as the Dodgers set their Wild Card Series roster.

The Dodgers, however, do clearly have the ability to make a deep postseason run, but they will need their stars fully healthy to do so. All-Star catcher Will Smith was placed on the injured list Saturday after he experienced a setback related to a bone bruise on his right hand.

Smith (hand) will be included on the Dodgers' wild-card roster but available only in a pinch-hitting capacity, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. Smith has played just one game since Sept. 3 due to a fracture in his right hand but did some live hitting during Monday's team workout without issue.

Ahead of the club’s season finale on Sunday against the Seattle Mariners, the Dodgers announced via manager Dave Roberts that Smith recovered “fine” after swinging yesterday, but he needs to progress to live at-bats tomorrow in order to be activated in time on Tuesday (h/t MLB .com’s Sonja Chen).

Will Smith might be ready for the Wild Card, and Blake Snell is definitely prepared for his postseason redemption arc.
