Drew Smith

Drew Smith (shoulder) is slated for a rehab appearance with Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday.

Fantasy Impact

Smith continues to rehab after landing on the injured list in mid-April with right shoulder inflammation. This will mark his second rehab outing in Syracuse.

The Mets have placed Drew Smith on 15-day IL with right shoulder inflammation.

Fantasy Impact

Smith last pitched on Tuesday and struggled during that outing. The team has recalled Dedniel Nunez to provide depth in the bullpen.

Mets reliever Drew Smith was ejected from Tuesday's game following a sticky substance check by umpires.

Fantasy Impact

Smith didn't even get to throw a pitch before being ejected as he entered the game out of the bullpen. Presumably, Smith will be hit with a 10-game suspension while the Mets will be unable to replace him on the active roster for the duration of the ban. The right-hander owns a 4.18 ERA through 26 appearances on the season, collecting his first two big-league saves in the process.

Drew Smith recorded one out via a strikeout to earn his first save of the season in a win over the Nationals Friday.

Fantasy Impact

Smith has a 1.88 ERA and a 1.05 WHIP through 16 relief appearances this season. The 29-year-old does not see enough high leverage innings to be fantasy viable.

Drew Smith pitched one scoreless inning, registering two strikeouts and the win over the Marlins Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Smith pitched a great top of the 10th inning, allowing the Mets to score the winning run in the bottom frame. The 29-year-old has a 3.45 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, .213 BAA, and a 10.15 K/9 ratio in 41 games. Smith should only be used in deeper leagues and he is generally used more in the middle innings.
