Fantasy Impact:

Smith’s 3.38 ERA and 11:4 K:BB over 10.2 innings in 4 spring starts clinch his White Sox roster spot, possibly as the fifth starter over Bryse Wilson, though his role’s unconfirmed. The 24-year-old impresses. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should roster him, banking on his arm for early value in Chicago’s 2025 rotation or bullpen if he lands the starting gig.
