Well, it's
something.
Carson Smith—thirteen months out from
Tommy John surgery—
worked out today in New York. The reliever threw twenty pitches with "stand-in" hitters
Dustin Pedroia and
Andrew Benintendi watching in the batter's box. The right-hander—who was slated to be the "set-up" guy in the 8th inning for closer
Craig Kimbrel—
may be ready to go on a minor-league rehab assignment soon. Don't hold your breath.
