Reporters asked whether Will Smith received additional imaging or testing on his neck, and this is what Dave Roberts said:
"No, because the testing that we did, he hasn't done anything more to warrant doing another test."
Will Smith will be completely shut down for one week before resuming baseball activities, per @katiejwoo
Mid-August looks like earliest possible return.
Dave Roberts said the Dodgers are giving Will Smith a week of no activity to hope that it calms down Smith’s neck. FWIW, Smith hasn’t reported any discomfort this week.
Still no timeline for him, but August would be the earliest the Dodgers could see him back.
