13 Will Smith RP

Smith struck out the side over a scoreless inning in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to Miami.

Outside of one bad outing against the Cubs on May 25, Smith has been untouchable since his return from Tommy John surgery this season. The 28-year-old now owns a 1.13 ERA with 19 strikeouts over 16 innings. The only downside regarding Smith's numbers from a fantasy perspective is his lack of holds (three) and saves (zero) while being slotted being Tony Watson and Hunter Strickland on the Giants' bullpen depth chart.

Smith tossed 1.1 clean innings in Wednesday's loss to the Astros.

Smith has been dominant since returning from Tommy John surgery May 2. The 28-year-old has posted an 11:2 K:BB ratio without allowing a run over 9.1 innings. Tony Watson is still the club's primary setup man, but Smith appears to be right behind him in the bullpen pecking order.

Smith appeared in six minor-league rehab outings over the past couple weeks and looks fully operation after undergoing Tommy John surgery in March of 2017. The left-hander figures to serve out of high-leverage spots within the Giants' bullpen after posting a 3.35 ERA and 1.21 WHIP over 40.1 innings of work split between San Francisco and Milwaukee in 2016. In a corresponding move, the club optioned Austin Slater to Triple-A.

Smith will be activated off the 10-day disabled list Wednesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Smith has nearly completed his rehab assignment, pitching both Wednesday and Thursday at Triple-A Sacramento without any setbacks. He'll come off the DL on Wednesday and should fall into a setup role out of the bullpen.

Smith (elbow) is scheduled to pitch Wednesday and Thursday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Since starting his rehab assignment at High-A San Jose in mid-April, Smith has reached Triple-A Sacramento where he's thrown three perfect innings over three games. In that time he's struck out six batters. The Giants current plan is for Smith to pitch Wednesday and Thursday before getting some rest and facing a couple more batters Sunday. Barring any setbacks, it's expected that Smith will come off the DL shortly after.
