Smoker (elbow) is with the club and should be activated before Thursday's game, Marc Carig of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tests recently revealed Smoker is dealing with loose bodies in his elbow, but apparently he's well enough to return to action. The left-hander holds a 7.45 ERA but should be a welcome addition to the bullpen because of his 36 strikeouts in 29 frames.
