Smyly will start Team USA's game against Venezuela on Wednesday to begin its second round of pool play at the WBC.
This will be Smyly's first appearance of the WBC, and he will look to get Team USA off to a strong start in round two against a star-studded Team Venezuela lineup. The 27-year-old will head back to Mariners camp after the game, where he has put together five scoreless innings to start spring.
