| Atlanta Braves RP Will Smith (illness) was activated from the injured list Thursday, Aug. 6. Source: MLB.com | |
| BHQ take: When Smith signed this offseason, many thought he would be the Atlanta closer in 2020. Instead, even before Smith’s illness, Atlanta committed to Mark Melancon. Nevertheless, Smith is coming off a 2019 season in which he saved 34 games and had a 13.2 Dom and a 180 BPV. Any stumble by Melancon will likely lead Atlanta to use Smith as the closer. —Phil Hertz | |
