Braves give veteran Dominic Smith non-roster invite to major league camp

  • On Tuesday, the Atlanta Braves added veteran first baseman and outfielder Dominic Smith to their major-league spring training camp as a non-roster invitee in North Port, Fla.
  • Braves prioritized adding infield depth before spring exhibition games, expecting Dominic Smith to provide backup behind Matt Olson and fill left field or designated hitter roles.
  • Smith appeared in 63 games last season and hit.284 with five home runs and 58 hits; he has nine MLB seasons and 69 career home runs.
  • Smith signed a one-year minor league deal and will try to earn a spot on the Opening Day roster; even if he misses camp, the 162-game season offers likely at-bats.
  • With time before the regular season, the Braves see Smith as a depth signing while still exploring reinforcements for their roster, including pitching trades.
