Cade Smith News: Stays in game after comebacker

Smith took a comebacker off his forehead Friday but remained in the game, Josh Kirshenbaum of MLB.com reports.

Smith talked the medical staff into letting him stay in the game, and he struck out the next batter he faced to finish off the inning. The right-hander then struck out two during a 1-2-3 inning in Saturday's game. He's been an effective bullpen arm for the Guardians in 2025, posting a 2.32 ERA with three saves and a 47:10 K:BB over 31 innings.
