Time over with Miami The Marlins released Smith on July 22.

Impact After signing with the Kiwoom Heroes of the Korea Baseball Organization this winter, Smith made only two starts overseas before getting released by the club. He then returned stateside and quickly linked up with Miami on a minor-league deal, after he previously made 16 appearances (one start) for the Marlins in 2020. During his three-month stint at Triple-A Jacksonville, Smith posted a 2.76 ERA and 1.15 WHIP in 32.2 innings, but those numbers weren't good enough for him to earn a promotion to the big leagues. He'll presumably look to land a minor-league deal with another organization.

Outrighted to Triple-A Smith (finger) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and outrighted to Triple-A New Orleans on Thursday.

Impact Smith missed the final few days of the regular season due to a fractured nail, and he's now expected to test free agency following his removal from the 40-man roster. The 33-year-old made 16 appearances (one start) during his first season with the Marlins in 2020, posting a 6.84 ERA and 1.67 WHIP over 26.1 innings.

Placed on injured list Smith was placed on the 10-day injured list with a fractured nail Thursday.

Impact Smith struggled mightily in Wednesday's outing, and his injury could have contributed to his lack of results. The right-hander will be sidelined at least 10 days as a result. He'd be eligible to return if the Marlins advance to the National League Division Series. Smith posted a 6.84 ERA and 1.67 WHIP over 26.1 innings spanning 16 appearances (one start) during the regular season.

Implodes in fourth inning Smith (1-1) allowed five runs on five hits (one home run) while striking out one through an inning of work Wednesday as he was handed the loss against the Braves.

Impact Smith entered the game to begin the fourth to relieve Sixto Sanchez after he struggled early on. The 33-year-old retired two of the first three batters he faced before allowing three straight singles which resulted in two runs for the Braves to put them up 6-4. It did not end there as Smith would serve up a three-run blast to Dansby Swanson to cap off a five-run inning. The right-hander has had a pretty horrible season as he owns a 6.84 ERA, and an 18:11 K:BB while also surrendering 33 hits in 26.1 innings of work.

Collects first win Smith (1-0) pitched two scoreless innings, allowing just three hits and striking out one to earn the win over the Mets in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader.

Impact Smith relieved starter Trevor Rogers to begin the fifth inning, putting him in position for the win. The 33-year-old Smith has pitched multiple innings in four of his eight outings this season. He has a 2.25 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and eight strikeouts through 12 innings. While he has a save this year, Smith is unlikely to factor into late-inning duties often.

Earns save Smith allowed one walk and struck out two in a scoreless inning to earn the save Wednesday against the Blue Jays.

Impact Smith entered the game in the 10th inning with a three-run lead and closed out the contest to earn his first save. Brandon Kintzler, the team's primary closer to this point, worked in the ninth inning in a tied game, which opened the opportunity for Smith to close the contest. It's unlikely Smith will see many more save chances, though he has proven to be a versatile piece of the Marlins' pitching staff to this point, also working as an opener on Aug. 5.
