Dominic Smith: Chooses to become free agent
Smith elected free agency Thursday.
After the Reds outrighted Smith off their 40-man roster last week, the veteran first baseman declined an assignment to Triple-A Louisville and instead elected to pursue opportunities elsewhere. Over 307 plate appearances in the big leagues this season between Cincinnati and Boston, Smith slashed .233/.313/.378 with six home runs, 34 RBI and 33 runs.

Reds' Dominic Smith: Clears waivers
The Reds outrighted Smith to Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.
Smith was pushed off the 40-man roster Monday after he slashed .192/.276/.269 with four runs and no RBI during his 10 games with the Reds. The 29-year-old first baseman will remain in the organization for now, but it wouldn't be surprising if he eventually elected free agency in search of another minor-league deal.

Reds' Dominic Smith: Out of lineup again Monday
Smith is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Astros.
It's the second straight day he's been out of the starting nine, even as the opposition had a righty (in this case, Justin Verlander) on the bump. Ty France will be at first base Monday and Amed Rosario will occupy the designated-hitter slot.

Reds' Dominic Smith: Dropped from 40-man
The Reds designated Smith for assignment Monday.
Smith went 5-for-26 with four runs scored and 11 strikeouts over nine games during his time as a Red. He still holds a .691 OPS on the season through 307 plate appearances and could contribute for another team down the stretch, though he would not be eligible to play in the postseason. Ty France will presumably take over as Cincinnati's primary first baseman.

Reds' Dominic Smith: Sitting against righty
Smith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.
After signing with the Reds on Aug. 22, Smith had started in each of the Reds' ensuing eight matchups against right-handed pitching, but he'll take a seat Sunday against Brewers righty Tobias Myers. Ty France will step in at first base in place of Smith, who has slashed .208/.296/.292 with a 37 percent strikeout rate thus far during his time in Cincinnati.

Reds' Dominic Smith: Makes fourth straight start
Smith started at first base and went 0-for-2 in Wednesday's 9-6 loss to Oakland.
Smith made his fourth consecutive start and fifth in six games since joining the Reds. All of those starts have come against right-handers, either at first base or designated hitter. A regular role is nice, but Smith is just 2-for-16 with eight strikeouts since signing with the team.

Smith went 0-for-3 in his Reds debut Thursday, but he'll yield to the righty-hitting Ty France at first base against southpaw Bailey Falter and the Pirates. Smith slashed .237/317/390 in 278 plate appearances with the Red Sox before being released.

Smith started at first base and went 0-for-3 in Thursday's 7-0 loss to the Pirates.
Smith, who was signed earlier in the day after being released by Boston on Tuesday, made his debut for the Reds. With Jeimer Candelario (toe) and Jake Fraley (knee) landing on the the 10-day injured list in recent days, the Reds could have regular spots in the lineup available for both Smith and Ty France against right-handed pitching at either first base and designated hitter.

Reds' Dominic Smith: Agrees to MLB deal with Cincinnati
The Reds agreed to a major-league contract with Smith on Thursday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
The 29-year-old was recently cut loose by the Red Sox following the return of Triston Casas from injury, but he's managed to quickly land another major-league deal. Smith slashed just .237/.317/.390 in 83 games for Boston, although he has a respectable .747 OPS since the All-Star break. Smith could see some action at first base while Jeimer Candelario (toe) is out.

Smith passed through waivers unclaimed after being designated for assignment last week and is now free to sign on with a new club. The veteran first baseman slashed only .237/.317/.390 in 83 games for Boston and might have to settle for a minor-league contract with his next organization.

Red Sox's Dominic Smith: Designated for assignment
The Red Sox designated Smith for assignment Friday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
Smith had a nice July, slashing .290/.355/.565 with three home runs. However, he's fallen off to a .235/.278/.324 line in August, and with Triston Casas (ribs) returning from the 60-day injured list, the veteran first baseman wasn't going to have much of a role. Smith seems likely to clear waivers but could latch on with another club for the stretch run.
