Carson Smith will be a familiar name to any fans who’ve followed the Sox closely over the last few years. However, after three seasons in the Red Sox organization, Smith’s presence remains one that goes partly unnoticed, for the most part. Riddled by long-term injuries, Smith’s tenure in Boston, thus far, has been nothing short of a restricted one.
Injuring his right shoulder back in May, Smith’s season was cut short after 18 appearances from the bullpen. As a name on Boston’s non-roster invitee list, Smith remains in contention to make a comeback to a Red Sox bullpen which isn’t exactly stacked as it stands.
