Dylan Smith: Everything you need to know

The Giants acquired Smith from the Tigers on Monday in exchange for cash considerations. Smith had been removed from the Tigers' 40-man roster last week and is now on the move to a new organization. The 25-year-old reliever has minor-league options and has been assigned to Triple-A Sacramento.

The Tigers designated Smith for assignment Wednesday. The right-hander was optioned to Triple-A Toledo in early March and is now losing his place on the 40-man roster. Smith made his MLB debut with seven relief appearances for the Tigers last year and pitched well, posting a 1.38 ERA and 0.85 WHIP despite a 4:5 K:BB.

The Tigers optioned Smith to Triple-A Toledo on Sunday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports. Smith will still join the Tigers' big-league group for its two-game exhibition in the Dominican Republic during the upcoming week, but he'll report to minor-league camp upon returning to Florida. The 25-year-old righty allowed just two earned runs on six hits and five walks over 13 innings in his seven appearances out of the Detroit bullpen in 2025, but he'll likely need to pitch well at Toledo in the early stages of the upcoming season before earning another look in the big leagues.
