As the San Francisco Giants continue to lose players to the disabled list, they finally received some much-needed good news on Wednesday. Left-handed relief pitcher Will Smith was finally activated from the disabled list, making his long-awaited return to the active.
The Giants found a good spot for Smith to make his re-debut, holding a 9-3 lead over the San Diego Padres in the seventh inning. The 28-year-old left-hander took over a clean inning, and before he even threw his first regular season pitch since 2016, he was greeted with a loud ovation from the crowd.
