The Miami Marlins have claimed reliever Chad Smith off of waivers from the Los Angeles Angles and have optioned him to Triple-A New Orleans. Smith was designated for assignment by the Angels after the Kirk Nieuwenhuis trade to make room for the outfielder.
Smith, 25, has already been with the Tigers, Athletics, the Angels and now the Marlins this season. He pitched 1 1/3 inning for the A’s earliers this season, giving up five runs on five hits and walking three.
