The Los Angeles Dodgers activated catchers Will Smith and Dalton Rushing from the injured list Tuesday, along with left-hander Justin Wrobleski, ahead of their series against the St. Louis Cardinals. The team also recalled infielder Alex Freeland from Triple-A. The moves came as MLB rosters expand to accommodate the final month of the season.

Smith is the Dodgers' starting catcher, while Rushing serves as backup. One account notes that one of the two catchers isn't expected to catch, though the reporting does not specify which. Freeland plays second base, per one outlet's coverage.

The Dodgers designated catcher Ben Rortvedt for assignment and optioned outfielder Alek Thomas in corresponding moves. Multiple outlets reported the activations, though reporting on the specific reasoning behind the moves was not available.
