Ryan Weathers strikes out a career-high 10 as Marlins beat Giants 6-3
Ryan Weathers struck out a career-high 10 before departing because of cramps in his left hand, and the Miami Marlins beat the San Francisco Giants 6-3

Outrighted to Triple-A
Smith cleared waivers Thursday and was outrighted to Triple-A Las Vegas, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact
Smith owns a 5.40 this season and a 6.03 ERA for his career, so it's no surprise to see him pass through waivers unclaimed. He'll remain as organizational depth for now.

Designated for assignment
Smith was designated for assignment by the Athletics on Tuesday.
Impact
Smith recorded an unimpressive 5.40 ERA in 43.1 innings of relief for the Athletics, striking out just 14.9 percent of opposing batters. As a 31-year-old with a career 6.03 ERA at the highest level, he's unlikely to get claimed off waivers. Domingo Acevedo's contract was selected to fill Smith's place in the bullpen.

Struggles again Friday
Smith allowed three earned runs on five hits over one inning in a loss to the Yankees on Friday.
Impact
The veteran reliever has now given up a total of eight earned runs in two of his last three trips to the mound, a reminder of why he's been used sparingly since the beginning of July (19.1 innings over 10 appearances). Smith has pitched to a 5.12 ERA and 1.40 WHIP over that span, a far cry from the career-best 2.25 and 0.67 figures he posted in those respective categories in 2020.

Logs rare appearance
Smith fired two scoreless innings in a loss to the Padres on Tuesday, allowing two hits and a walk while recording a strikeout.
Impact
The veteran reliever saw his first game action since July 6 and delivered his second consecutive scoreless appearance. Smith's sparse usage could be a reflection of his highly inconsistent season, one that's seen him allow multiple runs in five of 21 appearances on his way to a 5.06 ERA.

Sparingly used at end of first half
Smith, who owns a 1-1 record, 5.94 ERA and 1.34 WHIP across 24.2 innings, has logged just two appearances since June 26 as the second half of the season begins.
Impact
The veteran reliever has been a lot more hittable this season than during an impressive six-appearance debut stint with the Athletics in 2020, and the more frequent stumbles may be starting to cost him some opportunities. Smith has offered some modest fantasy value in deeper formats by notching four holds, but he's also given up multiple earned runs in five appearances and has seen a precipitous drop in strikeout rate from last year's 29.5 percent to 17.1 percent.

Blown save, loss
Smith (1-1) blew the save and took the loss in Saturday's 6-5 defeat at the hands of the Giants, allowing two runs (one earned) on two hits while recording one out.
Impact
Smith entered in the bottom of the 10th to protect a one-run lead and induced a Donovan Solano lineout to start the frame, but he then surrendered a Steven Duggar single and Curt Casali double to lose the game for Oakland. He's now allowed multiple runs in three of his last five appearances and owns a high 5.82 ERA.

Hit hard in relief
Smith allowed four earned runs on three hits and a walk over one inning in a win over the Angels on Monday. He also hit a batter and recorded a strikeout.
Impact
Smith created plenty of trouble for himself during his one frame, allowing the Angels to mount a modest comeback from an 8-1 deficit. The stumble was the latest hiccup in what's turning into a rocky season for Smith, as he's now pitched to a 9.64 ERA, 1.82 WHIP and 1.9 HR/9 across 9.1 innings in his last eight appearances.

Bouncing back from rough patch
Smith fired a scoreless seventh inning in a loss to the Angels on Sunday, allowing a hit and a walk.
Impact
The veteran reliever now has back-to-back scoreless appearances after giving up four earned runs over four innings across the three outings immediately preceding the current stretch. Smith retains some modest value in formats that count holds, as he's amassed three of them while also pitching to an impressive 2.93 ERA and 1.04 WHIP across 15.1 innings.

Perfect in return
Smith (groin), reinstated from the injured list Saturday, fired two perfect innings during which he recorded two strikeouts in a loss to the Rays on Sunday.
Impact
The right-hander encouragingly got his six outs on just 23 pitches, making it a highly successful return after nearly a month on the injured list. Smith should line up for some consistent later-inning work moving forward and now sports a 1.80 ERA and 0.80 WHIP through five innings (three appearances).

Reinstated from injured list
Smith (groin) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Saturday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Impact
Smith made a rehab appearance for Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday and allowed a run on two hits while striking out two in 1.1 innings. He'll now return to the major-league bullpen after Mike Fiers (elbow) was placed on the injured list in a corresponding move.
