Smith has appeared in three spring games, allowing two runs on four hits while striking out three over three innings.

EDGE Analysis

Smith, who opted out of the 2020 season, returns to a bullpen that had many moving parts in the pandemic-shortened season. The side-arming veteran should add stability and is expected to be part of the setup crew for closer Ryan Pressly. Non-roster invitee Steve Cishek is also expected to pitch in the final third of games.
