The Atlanta Braves made a minor move on Tuesday and added infielder Dominic Smith on their list of non-roster invites to spring training. Smith, 30, spent the 2025 season in San Francisco, where he appeared in 63 games. He spent the majority of his time at first base, but also appeared in right field and briefly filled the DH role. 

He debuted with the New York Mets in 2017 and in his early career, logged most of his innings in the outfield.

It is an under-the-radar addition for Atlanta, but Smith gives the Braves another experienced option in camp and a potential source of depth, should he make an impression this spring.
