SAN DIEGO –– The Dodgers still don’t know when starting catcher Will Smith will return from his neck injury. Thus, when Shohei Ohtani takes the mound next Wednesday, it will “most likely” be Dalton Rushing behind the plate again, manager Dave Roberts said on Friday. Typically, managers aren’t asked about battery pairings almost a week away from a pitcher’s next start.
