Smith underwent a hybrid Tommy John procedure with an internal brace last July and will be sidelined for most or all of this season. But he should be back on the mound by Opening Day 2026.

I suppose "most or all" theoretically allows for a late-season return, but I'm betting more on "all" than "most", I admit. Just because.
Here's the Bullpen, AFAICT:
SEVEN YEARS of this crap: Edlose Diaz
Set-Up: Ryne Stanek
Lefty: AJ Minter (inj)
Others: Reed Garrett, Dedniel Nuņez (inj), Jose Butto (inj)
Other Lefty: Danny Young
Top contenders for the injured spots are Max Kranick, Anthony Gose (NRI) and Your Guess Here (Kevin Herget? Tyler Zuber?)
Get excited!!!
