Will Smith’s Dodgers return looks like it’s aimed for early July , with reports saying he could be back when the team returns from its road trip around July 2. His comeback is still not locked in, though, because the latest updates say he’s not progressing as quickly as hoped and will likely need rehab games first.

What the latest reports say

  • He has been sidelined with a neck issue for about two weeks.
  • Manager Dave Roberts has said early July is the likeliest window.
  • More recent reporting suggests the timeline is still a bit uncertain and could shift.

Practical read

For now, the safest answer is: not immediately, but probably early July if recovery keeps moving forward. The Dodgers also have little reason to rush him back, so they may wait until he’s fully ready.

In plain English

If you mean the Dodgers catcher, he is not back yet , and the current expectation is around early July rather than this week.
