Red Sox Release First Baseman Dominic Smith
Smith, a fan favorite, was let go after Triston Casas' return from injury, despite a strong recent performance.
- Smith joined the Red Sox in May to cover for the injured Casas.
- He hit .237 with 6 home runs and 34 RBIs in 83 games for Boston.
- Smith's release was due to roster constraints and the abundance of left-handed hitters.
- Manager Alex Cora praised Smith's contributions and professionalism.
- Smith is expected to find a new team before the playoff eligibility deadline.
