Eligibility
Mets reliever Drew Smith was ejected from Tuesday's game following a sticky substance check by umpires.
Fantasy Impact
Smith didn't even get to throw a pitch before being ejected as he entered the game out of the bullpen. Presumably, Smith will be hit with a 10-game suspension while the Mets will be unable to replace him on the active roster for the duration of the ban. The right-hander owns a 4.18 ERA through 26 appearances on the season, collecting his first two big-league saves in the process.
Drew Smith recorded one out via a strikeout to earn his first save of the season in a win over the Nationals Friday.
Fantasy Impact
Smith has a 1.88 ERA and a 1.05 WHIP through 16 relief appearances this season. The 29-year-old does not see enough high leverage innings to be fantasy viable.
Drew Smith pitched one scoreless inning, registering two strikeouts and the win over the Marlins Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Smith pitched a great top of the 10th inning, allowing the Mets to score the winning run in the bottom frame. The 29-year-old has a 3.45 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, .213 BAA, and a 10.15 K/9 ratio in 41 games. Smith should only be used in deeper leagues and he is generally used more in the middle innings.
Drew Smith allowed two walks in one inning.
Fantasy Impact
Smith was the beneficiary of the Mets' four-run seventh inning. He's pitched well this season but isn't on the fantasy radar.
Drew Smith allowed one walk and struck out one batter in one inning of work.
Fantasy Impact
Smith hasn't allowed an earned run yet this season. He has a 3.85 xFIP and a 3.50 K/BB ratio. He's not being used in high-leverage situations, but if he keeps pitching well, then maybe he could pop on the radar in holds leagues.
