Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Dylan Smith, a right-handed relief pitcher, was traded to the Giants from the Tigers in late March 2026. He was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on May 10 for his first MLB appearance with the Giants after posting a 1.38 ERA, 0.85 WHIP with strong strikeout numbers (15 K in 12.2 IP) at Triple-A. He delivered a scoreless relief outing in his debut but was optioned back to Sacramento on May 11 to make roster space, indicating the Giants are managing his workload and development carefully.
