ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Smith talked the medical staff into letting him stay in the game, and he struck out the next batter he faced to finish off the inning. The right-hander then struck out two during a 1-2-3 inning in Saturday's game. He's been an effective bullpen arm for the Guardians in 2025, posting a 2.32 ERA with three saves and a 47:10 K:BB over 31 innings. Apr 30 2025 Smith allowed one hit and one walk while striking out two over a scoreless eighth inning in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Twins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Smith has operated as a fill-in closer while Emmanuel Clase worked on the demons that plagued him early in 2025. Clase followed Smith to pitch the ninth inning of a 1-1 game, which indicates the former is still a trusted late-game arm and in the closer mix.
