Mallex Smith: Cut by Toronto
The Blue Jays released Mallex Smith from his minor-league deal June 1.Smith lost his spot on Triple-A Buffalo's roster after slashing .195/.319/.208 with an 11-for-13 success rate on stolen-base attempts across 91 plate appearances. The 29-year-old still possesses high-end speed, but his shoddy outfield defense and lack of power and on-base skills could make it difficult for him to resurface in the big leagues. He last appeared in the majors in 2020, when he played in 14 games for Seattle.

Blue Jays' Mallex Smith: Back with Blue Jays on minors deal
Mallex Smith signed with the Toronto Blue Jays as a non-roster invitee Monday.Smith ended the season with Toronto after being acquired from the Reds in mid-August. He only appeared in 35 minor-league games last season, hitting .255/.376/.388. He'll likely be little more than organizational depth for the Blue Jays but has enough speed to offset his light bat should he find himself with unexpected playing time.

Blue Jays' Mallex Smith: Dealt to Toronto
Mallex Smith was traded from the Reds to the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday and was assigned to Triple-A Buffalo, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports.Smith was not on Cincinnati's 40-man roster and it's unclear what the Reds will receive from Toronto in this transaction. He is known for being a big-time stolen-base threat, but the rest of his game leaves a lot to be desired. It's possible he could serve as a pinch-running specialist for the big club at some point down the stretch.

Mets' Mallex Smith: Links up with Mets
Mallex Smith signed a minor-league deal with the New York Mets on Wednesday, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.The 27-year-old was traded from the Rays to the Mariners ahead of the 2019 season, but he struggled after being sent west with a .612 OPS in 148 games before getting removed from the 40-man roster in September. Smith had a .773 OPS and 40 stolen bases in 2018 with Tampa Bay, and the Mets will take a low-risk flier in the event he's able to rediscover that form.

Mariners' Mallex Smith: Optioned off roster
Mallex Smith was optioned to the Seattle Mariners' alternate training site Tuesday.Smith has been an interesting fantasy option for a few seasons thanks to his considerable speed, as he stole 86 bases across the last two seasons, but questions remain about his ability to hit well enough to remain in the lineup on a regular basis. He's answered those questions firmly in the negative so far this year, hitting a miserable .133/.170/.178 through 14 games. If he eventually returns to the roster later this season, he may not play enough to have much fantasy relevance.

Mariners' Mallex Smith: Looks like reserve player
Mallex Smith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.Now on the bench for the fifth time in seven games, Smith seems to have at least temporarily lost out on a regular spot in the lineup versus right-handed pitching. While Smith has gone 2-for-2 on stolen-base attempts, his performance at the plate has been even rougher than usual, as he enters play Sunday with a .133/.170/.178 slash line and 27.7 percent strikeout rate over 47 plate appearances. Expect Tim Lopes to continue receiving more work in the corner outfield at Smith's expense.
