Smith fired a clean inning with a pair of strikeouts en route to his seventh save in Sunday's 3-2 win over Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

Smith looked dominant in this one, throwing 13 of his 17 pitches for strikes without allowing a baserunner against a tough Diamondbacks' lineup. The 28-year-old has flourished since taking over as the Giants' closer June 29, going a perfect seven for seven in save chances over that span.

Smith had one strikeout and allowed one hit Tuesday against the Padres during a scoreless 10th inning to record the save.

EDGE Analysis

Smith continued his stellar season with the only blemish Tuesday being a two-out single allowed to Manuel Margot. The 29-year-old has a 1.31 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 48:7 K:BB over 34.1 innings on the season.

Smith fired a scoreless inning while striking out one en route to his fifth save in Sunday's 8-5 win over Milwaukee.

EDGE Analysis

Smith has now converted saves in back to back appearances after not seeing a save chance since July 6. That has been a product of the Giants' inability to generate save opportunities for its closer (and the All-Star break), but the 28-year-old's recent usage confirms that he is still the club's primary closing option.

Smith picked up his fourth save Tuesday, striking out two in a scoreless inning against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Smith ran into little trouble, striking out the first two batters he faced before getting a pop up to send down Seattle on just nine pitches. It's the first save for any San Francisco pitcher in nearly three weeks, but with Hunter Strickland (finger) sidelined, Smith appears to have emerged as the preferred option to close out games over Sam Dyson, Mark Melancon and Tony Watson. He's now a perfect 4-for-4 in saves since taking over that role, and sports a sterling 1.45 ERA and 0.84 WHIP on the season.

Smith walked one and struck out three over 1.1 scoreless innings in Tuesday's 6-3 win over Miami.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old fired a scoreless eighth inning and recorded another out in the ninth before giving way to Sam Dyson for the save. Fellow southpaw Tony Watson was given the night off for rest, which is why Smith was allowed to get to Derek Dietrich in the final frame. The veteran reliever has been dominant in his return from Tommy John surgery, posting a 0.90 ERA with 27 strikeouts over 20 innings. Giants' closer Hunter Strickland underwent hand surgery Tuesday, but Sam Dyson and Tony Watson figure to see the bulk of save opportunities (based on matchups), keeping Smith in a setup role for the time being.

Smith struck out the side over a scoreless inning in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to Miami.

EDGE Analysis

Outside of one bad outing against the Cubs on May 25, Smith has been untouchable since his return from Tommy John surgery this season. The 28-year-old now owns a 1.13 ERA with 19 strikeouts over 16 innings. The only downside regarding Smith's numbers from a fantasy perspective is his lack of holds (three) and saves (zero) while being slotted being Tony Watson and Hunter Strickland on the Giants' bullpen depth chart.

Smith tossed 1.1 clean innings in Wednesday's loss to the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Smith has been dominant since returning from Tommy John surgery May 2. The 28-year-old has posted an 11:2 K:BB ratio without allowing a run over 9.1 innings. Tony Watson is still the club's primary setup man, but Smith appears to be right behind him in the bullpen pecking order.

Smith (elbow) was reinstated from the disabled list prior to Wednesday's game against San Diego, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith appeared in six minor-league rehab outings over the past couple weeks and looks fully operation after undergoing Tommy John surgery in March of 2017. The left-hander figures to serve out of high-leverage spots within the Giants' bullpen after posting a 3.35 ERA and 1.21 WHIP over 40.1 innings of work split between San Francisco and Milwaukee in 2016. In a corresponding move, the club optioned Austin Slater to Triple-A.

Smith will be activated off the 10-day disabled list Wednesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith has nearly completed his rehab assignment, pitching both Wednesday and Thursday at Triple-A Sacramento without any setbacks. He'll come off the DL on Wednesday and should fall into a setup role out of the bullpen.

Smith (elbow) is scheduled to pitch Wednesday and Thursday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Since starting his rehab assignment at High-A San Jose in mid-April, Smith has reached Triple-A Sacramento where he's thrown three perfect innings over three games. In that time he's struck out six batters. The Giants current plan is for Smith to pitch Wednesday and Thursday before getting some rest and facing a couple more batters Sunday. Barring any setbacks, it's expected that Smith will come off the DL shortly after.
