Neto is absent from Sunday's lineup against the Phillies, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Smith has been out since early June due to a neck injury, but it appears he's ready to rejoin the Dodgers for the final month of the season.

The Mariners recalled Davila from Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday.

After recently being optioned Aug. 21, Davila will rejoin the big-league club as they wrap up a pivotal three-game set in Toronto. The 27-year-old has appeared in 23 MLB games this season, registering a 4.10 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 13:11 K:BB over 26.1 innings. Seattle sent Emerson Hancock (groin) to the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Seattle placed Hancock (groin) on the 15-day injured list Sunday with a left adductor strain, retroactive to Aug. 29.

Hancock felt something off in his left leg early on in his most recent start Friday against Toronto. The 27-year-old went on to take the loss after allowing five runs over five innings. The right-hander will miss a minimum of 15 days and a couple of starts for Seattle. The Mariners recalled Nick Davila from Triple-A Tacoma to fill in for Hancock on the 26-man roster.
