Smith will undergo an MRI after feeling tightness in his right forearm while playing catch Wednesday, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith missed a chunk of time earlier this season with a shoulder problem and now has another arm issue to contend with. The righty has been a high-leverage reliever for the Mets this season when healthy, posting a 3.06 ERA and 23:9 K:BB over 17.2 frames.

Smith earned his second save Sunday, allowing one hit and one walk over a scoreless two-thirds of an inning against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Smith entered the game with two on and one out attempting to preserve a two-run lead. A base hit and a walk cut the lead to one with the bases loaded and still only one out. Smith then sawed off Nick Castellanos, with Mets catcher Luis Torrens grabbing the fair ball just in front of home plate, touching the plate then tossing to first for the game-ending double play that secured Smith's second save. It was far from a clean outing for Smith, who was making just his second appearance since returning from an IL stint of more than a month with shoulder inflammation. Smith will likely continue to hold a high-leverage spot in the Mets' bullpen with the chance for an occasional save as the team awaits the return to health and form of Edwin Diaz (shoulder).

The Mets reinstated Smith (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old has been sidelined more than a month with shoulder inflammation but is ready to rejoin the Mets after a four-appearance rehab assignment. Smith's return will provide a boost to New York's high-leverage unit, which is missing Edwin Diaz due to a shoulder injury.

Smith (shoulder) resumed a rehab assignment with Single-A Brooklyn on Sunday, tossing a scoreless inning, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith was close to being activated earlier this month before experiencing a setback. He's back on the comeback trail now, though, and is expected to return in about a week after making a couple more rehab appearances.

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said that Smith won't be activated from the 15-day injured list Wednesday after recently experiencing a "pinch" in his right shoulder, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

He will have his return pushed back a second time because the Mets need length from their bullpen and Smith isn't ready to provide that yet. Smith is still able to continue throwing in spite of the setback, so he may not be ruled out for a return from the IL for Thursday's series finale in Philadelphia or at some point this weekend.

EDGE Analysis

According to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com, Smith's minor-league rehab assignment is considered complete, so the Mets will merely need to decide which player will come off the 26-man active roster to create room for the right-handed reliever. Before hitting the shelf April 27 with shoulder inflammation, Smith logged three holds and one save over his 10 appearances out of the Mets bullpen while pitching to a 2.70 ERA and 1.70 WHIP across 10 innings.

EDGE Analysis
