The Mets recalled Smith from their alternate training site ahead of Sunday's doubleheader with the Yankees, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Mets moved Steven Matz (shoulder) and Dellin Betances (lat) to the 10-day injured list to make room in the bullpen for three fresh arms in Smith, Franklyn Kilome and Ariel Jurado. Smith has previously made seven relief appearances for New York, giving up two runs on five hits and no walks while striking out six in six innings.

Smith was optioned to the team's alternate training site Thursday in order to make room for Michael Wacha on the 28-man roster, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith holds a decent 3.00 ERA on the campaign, but is the odd man out with Michael Wacha (shoulder) being activated from the injured list. Wacha was originally scheduled to start Thursday, but with the game being postponed, he will now start Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader against the Yankees.

Smith was recalled from the Mets' alternate training site Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Smith had a brief stay at the Mets' secondary site after being optioned Friday. Right-hander Franklyn Kilome was optioned to the alternate camp in a corresponding move. Smith should pitch in low-leverage situations for the Mets.

Smith was optioned to the Mets' alternate training site Friday, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old was demoted in order to make room on the active roster for Robinson Cano (groin), who was activated off the injured list. Smith pitched well with two runs allowed and a 6:0 K:BB through six innings, so he figures to rejoin the big-league club before long.

Smith (elbow) is a member of the Mets' 60-player roster pool and could be ready for the start of the season, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old underwent Tommy John surgery in March 2019 but appears to be in the final stages of his recovery, as he's been throwing off a mound since March. Smith had a solid rookie showing in 2018 with a 3.54 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 18:6 K:BB over 28 innings, so he could be a factor in the Mets' bullpen once fully healthy.

Smith (elbow) began throwing bullpen sessions last week, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
He had Tommy John surgery last March, so he probably won't be ready to pitch in games until at least April or May. Smith had a 3.54 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 18 strikeouts in 28 innings out of the big-league bullpen in 2018.

Smith (elbow) was moved to the 60-day injured list Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Smith will make way on the 40-man roster for Adeiny Hechavarria, whose contract was purchased in a corresponding move. The move has no effect on Smith's recovery timeline, as he's out for the season after undergoing Tommy John surgery.

Smith (elbow) was officially placed on the 10-day IL, Matt Ehalt of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
He underwent Tommy John surgery this spring, so he will miss all of 2019 and some of 2020. Smith will likely eventually be transferred to the 60-day IL once the Mets need a 40-man spot.

Smith will undergo Tommy John surgery Tuesday, Matt Ehalt of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith was evaluated Sunday for what was initially diagnosed as elbow soreness, and the news apparently wasn't good. The timing of the procedure means that Smith will work towards returning sometime in the middle of the 2020 season.
