Giants DFA Tyler Fitzgerald to Clear Room for Dylan Smith

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.

Tigers DFA Dylan Smith to Make Room for McGonigle

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.
