Veteran Infielder Recently Released By Red Sox DFA’d Once Again

Dominic Smith may be on the move again

Dominic Smith briefly found a new home after his stint filling in at first base for the summer for the Boston Red Sox.

He could be back on the open market soon.

The Cincinnati Reds designed Smith for assignment in a corresponding move for the promotion of outfielder Blake Dunn from Triple-A Louisville. Smith played just nine games for the Reds, hitting .182 in 26 at-bats for the National League Central club.

Smith played an important role at first base in the prolonged absence of Triston Casas. He held down the spot and offered a central figure in the clubhouse for Boston. The veteran slashed .237/.317/.390 with six home runs in 84 games for the Red Sox.

Smith has played for four MLB teams in his last three seasons.
