DOMINIC SMITH NEWS

Non-tendered by Mets Smith was non-tendered by the Mets and became a free agent on Friday, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports

Impact Smith slashed just .194/.276/.284 over 152 major-league plate appearances last season before being sent down to the minors in August. With Smith stuck behind Pete Alonso and Daniel Vogelbach on the depth chart, it simply didn't make sense for the Mets to bring him back in 2023. The 27-year-old showed he can succeed in the majors in 2019 and 2020, recording a .937 OPS between the two seasons, so he should still draw some interest from teams looking for an additional left-handed bat.

Activated from IL, sent down Smith (ankle) was activated from the 10-day injured list Thursday and was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact After missing three weeks with a right ankle sprain, Smith will remain with Syracuse after going 4-for-17 with an RBI and two runs scored over five games during his rehab assignment. The 27-year-old will likely be a top option to get called up to the big leagues down the stretch, though his .194/.276/.284 slash line over 134 at-bats in 58 games with the Mets this year leaves much to be desired.

Rehab assignment begins Thursday Smith (ankle) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact Smith has been sidelined with a right ankle sprain since mid-July but has now been cleared to return to game action with the minor-league club. The Mets recently acquired Daniel Vogelbach and Tyler Naquin, so it's not yet clear whether Smith will have a role with the big-league squad once he's deemed fully healthy.
