Released by Twins Smith was released by the Twins on Friday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Impact He did not allow an earned run in his first 16 games of the season but logged a 9.22 ERA in his last 18 games, leading to the Twins designating him for assignment earlier this week. Smith would likely have to settle for a minor-league deal if he signs elsewhere.

Designated for assignment Smith was designated for assignment by the Twins on Wednesday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Impact Smith was reinstated from the injured list in mid-July and posted a 13.50 ERA and 1.93 WHIP in 4.2 innings over six appearances following his return. He'll be cast off the 40-man roster as part of a move after Caleb Thielbar (hamstring) was reinstated from the 15-day IL on Wednesday.

Officially activated from IL Smith (back) was activated from the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

Impact Smith will make his return to the Twins' bullpen after missing close to the minimum 15 days while on the IL with a back issue. The right-hander has produced a 2.78 ERA and 1.46 WHIP with 13 strikeouts over 22.2 innings in 28 appearances this season.

Could be activated Wednesday Smith (back) could be activated from the injured list Tuesday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Smith has been sidelined since landing on the injured list in late June, but he is nearly ready to rejoin Minnesota's bullpen, and it appears he will not need a rehab assignment before doing so.

JULY 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Could return from IL shortly Smith (upper trapezius) will travel with the Twins on the upcoming six-game road trip and could be activated during the trip, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Impact The 38-year-old has been dependable in a setup role for the Twins in 2022, collecting a win and 14 holds while supplying a 2.78 ERA and 1.46 WHIP across 22.2 innings. His return will be welcome amid Minnesota's recent late-inning bullpen woes.

JULY 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Goes on IL The Twins placed Smith on the 15-day injured list Sunday with upper trapezius tightness.

Impact Smith's IL stint is retroactive to Friday, so he won't be eligible for activation until July 9. The 38-year-old has been dependable in a setup role for the Twins in 2022, collecting a win and 14 holds while supplying a 2.78 ERA and 1.46 WHIP across 22.2 innings.

JUNE 5, 2022 • Associated Press

Scoreless streak continues Smith threw a scoreless seventh inning to record his fifth hold in Sunday's win over Oakland. He hasn't allowed a run in 10.1 innings this season over 12 appearances.

Impact Smith was signed in the offseason to give the bullpen a veteran middle reliever, and he's been outstanding in his role. He has just six strikeouts, but he's been generating groundballs at a high rate (1.67 GO/AO). He should continue to have a prominent setup role but won't likely finish games or get save chances.
