Dominic Smith Unsure Of Return Date
7 years agoNew York Mets first baseman Dominic Smith has been out of action with a strained quadriceps, and as of Tuesday afternoon, there doesn’t seem to be any update on that. Smith told the media he doesn’t know when he will get in a game, but also stated his last remaining step is running bases without any pain. Considering he’s not playing yet, presumably he is still having issues on the basepaths. The ship for Smith to start the season as the starting first baseman has completely sailed, as at this point he’s missed far too much time to unseat the recently-acquired Adrian Gonzalez. Gonzalez hasn’t been very good this spring, though, and so if he falters and Smith starts the season hot, the potential is always there for an early season switch.
