Dominic Smith has rejoined the Yankees.
The primary baseman/outfielder signed a minor league contract with the workforce on Monday, the Yankees introduced. Smith had been with the Bombers as a non-roster invitee in spring coaching, however he opted out towards the tip with the Yankees’ lineup and bench overloaded with fellow left-handed hitters.
Smith, 29, slashed .297/.289/.568 with three residence runs and 12 RBI for the Yankees this spring. On Monday, he was assigned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
A Met from 2017-2022, Smith tallied 32 homers, 125 RBI and a .787 OPS from 2019-2021. He’s performed only one full massive league season since that stretch, although, falling out of favor with the Mets earlier than becoming a member of the Nationals, Cubs, Rays, Pink Sox and Reds. The final 4 groups all employed Smith final season as he tried to bounce again from proper hamate surgical procedure, which he underwent in January 2024, although he solely reached the majors with Boston and Cincinnati.
Again in spring coaching, Smith stated that his proper hand had bothered him and presumably been damaged for years previous to surgical procedure. This spring was the primary time because the surgical procedure that Smith felt his hand was at full power.
