Smith (shoulder) is a candidate to get called up to the majors late in the season if he's healthy enough, Sam Dykstra and Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com report.
EDGE Analysis
Smith has been on the shelf at Triple-A Toledo since July 6 with a shoulder strain, though there is some optimism that he'll be able to return in September, which could make him a candidate to help the Tigers out of the bullpen if a need arises. Prior to getting hurt, the 25-year-old righty had posted a 1.38 ERA and 0.85 WHIP in 13 innings across two stints with Detroit before being sent back to the minors in early July.

Triple-A Toledo placed Smith on its 7-day injured list Thursday due to an unspecified injury.
EDGE Analysis
After being optioned to Toledo on July 2, Smith made just one appearance for the Triple-A club before landing on the IL. The 25-year-old right-hander maintains a 2.70 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 37:11 K:BB in 26.2 innings between Toledo and Double-A Erie this season.

The Tigers optioned Smith to Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday after their 11-2 win over the Nationals in the first game of a doubleheader.
EDGE Analysis
Smith was credited with his first MLB after tossing 3.1 scoreless innings in relief while allowing two hits and two walks without recording a strikeout. The right-hander has allowed just two earned runs over 13 major-league innings since the beginning of June, but because he's unlikely to be available for at least the next couple of days following the 43-pitch appearance, he was sent back to the minors. The Tigers recalled outfielder Justyn-Henry Malloy from Triple-A to replace Smith on the 26-man active roster.

Smith, who tossed two scoreless innings of relief with two strikeouts in Friday's loss to the Twins, now has a 1.86 ERA this season.
EDGE Analysis
Smith has been back and forth between Detroit and Triple-A Toledo, so he's only logged 9.2 innings for the Tigers to date, but he's impressed in the small sample, allowing just four hits and three walks for a strong 0.72 WHIP. The 25-year-old is working in a mostly low-leverage role with limited fantasy impact during his rookie campaign, though he could earn more high-leverage innings if he continues to pitch well.

The Tigers optioned Smith to Triple-A Toledo and recalled him Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Smith served as Detroit's 27th man for Thursday's doubleheader versus Pittsburgh, appearing in relief and tossing two scoreless innings in the Tigers' 9-2 win in the first game of the day. Though he had been expected to be returned to Toledo following the twin bill, Smith will instead stick around with Detroit after Keider Montero was optioned to Triple-A on Friday.

The Tigers recalled Smith from Triple-A Toledo on Thursday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith will serve as the 27th man for Thursday's doubleheader versus the Pirates and will be available for both contests of the twin bill. The 25-year-old has made two relief appearances for the Tigers this season, allowing two runs over three innings.

The Tigers optioned Smith to Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The move makes room on the Tigers' 26-man roster for Sawyer Gipson-Long (elbow/hip), who was reinstated from the 15-day injured list. Smith was promoted from Triple-A to the majors this past Friday, and across two outings he allowed two runs on four hits and two walks over three innings without striking out a batter.
