Fantasy Impact:

Smith’s .857 OPS with 3 homers this spring couldn’t secure a Yankees Opening Day spot, leading to his Friday release from a minor league pact. The 29-year-old now seeks a new team. Fantasy managers in deep dynasty leagues should stash him, banking on his bat for a 2025 roster spot and potential value if he lands with a club needing first-base help soon.
