Joe Smith - Page 3 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Sent to Mariners Smith and Abraham Toro were traded from the Astros to the Mariners on Tuesday in exchange for Kendall Graveman and Rafael Montero, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Smith recorded one out without allowing a baserunner during Monday's loss to the Mariners, and he'll now switch dugouts ahead of the second game of the series. The veteran right-hander has a 7.48 ERA, 1.80 WHIP and 17:4 K:BB over 21.2 innings this season and should fill a low-leverage role for Seattle.

Logs inning Thursday Smith allowed one hit over a scoreless ninth inning in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Athletics.

Impact Smith was reinstated from the 10-day injured list earlier in the day and rejoins a bullpen that has pitched well of late. The 'pen, which has been inconsistent and forced manager Dusty Baker to shuffle roles, posted a 1.29 over the last seven games. Smith is one of the pitchers that contributed to the struggles during the first half, but he began the season as an expected late-game arm. The Astros are expected to use him as such going forward.
