Tidwell pitched 5 2/3 shutout innings with a career-best seven strikeouts and Smith fired three innings of high-leverage relief, but San Francisco could not hold a late lead as the Giants dropped a 3-2 walk-off to the Red Sox at Fenway, highlighting both a bright future for young pitchers and ongoing bullpen woes.
San Francisco designated infielder/outfielder Tyler Fitzgerald for assignment to create a 40-man roster spot for right-hander Dylan Smith, who was acquired from the Tigers and optioned to Triple-A Sacramento. Fitzgerald, 28, flashed strong 2024 numbers but slumped in 2025, losing his starting role and becoming surplus on a deep Giants roster as they added Arraez and others. With a five-day window to trade or place him on waivers, another club is likely to claim or acquire him.
The Detroit Tigers designated reliever Dylan Smith for assignment to clear a 40-man roster spot for rookie shortstop Kevin McGonigle; they also placed Sawyer Gipson-Long (left oblique strain), Bailey Horn (elbow arthroscopy) and Trey Sweeney (shoulder strain) on the injured list (Sweeney 10-day, Gipson-Long and Horn 15-day). Smith, 25, appeared in seven MLB games last season over 13 innings, with two runs allowed and 4 strikeouts against 5 walks; he showed health this spring before being optioned. He has two minor-league options remaining and is expected to be traded or claimed on waivers within five days. Smith sits 6’2” with a 94-95 mph fastball and an mid-80s slider, and has a four-season minor-league ERA under 4.00.
The Detroit Tigers plan to promote rookie reliever Dylan Smith to make his MLB debut before their series in Kansas City, filling a spot on the 40-man roster as they manage their pitching staff amid some rotation concerns.
