Burch Smith News
The Miami Marlins acquired right-hander Burch Smith from the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday in exchange for cash considerations. Smith had an assignment clause in his minor-league contract, and the Rays didn't have a spot for him on their major-league roster out of spring training. The Marlins selected Smith's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville after the trade. The 33-year-old last pitched in the majors in 2021 with the Oakland Athletics, posting a 5.40 ERA (4.21 FIP) and 1.38 WHIP with 11 walks and 28 strikeouts in 43 1/3 relief innings. He'll be completely off the fantasy radar in what's expected to be a long-relief role for the Fish. In five big-league seasons, Smith has a poor 6.03 ERA, a 1.56 WHIP, one save, 87 walks and 184 strikeouts in 191 innings pitched.
Oakland Athletics right-handed pitcher Burch Smith is not likely to be cleared to return for the club this season after having sustained a forearm strain last week. Manager Bob Melvin provided an update Thursday, saying that he believed that it would be tough for Smith to make it back this season. Smith had quickly become one of the clubs vital cogs in its relief corps, having opened the year with five consecutive scoreless appearances. He secured his first big league save in addition to vulturing two wins, which gave him deep league appeal which has since dissipated.
Oakland Athletics right-handed pitcher Burch Smith has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a strained right forearm, paving the way for righty James Kaprielian, the clubs No. 13 prospect, to earn the call to the Major League roster. Smith had yet to be scored upon in 2020 prior to his outing Saturday; prior to his exit, he struck out three batters, giving him 13 Ks through 12 IP this year. Kaprielian boasts a power arm in his own right, having averaged 10.3 K/9 across three Minor League seasons. After having recovered from Tommy John surgery, Kaprielian is an intriguing keepers league asset at this stage, although his current role with Oakland will likely come out of relief.
