The Braves need catching help right now, since Travis d'Arnaud and Alex Jackson are both injured. Smith will replace veteran Jeff Mathis as the backup to young William Contreras for the foreseeable future.

It comes as no surprise that the Rays received cash back for one of their players. As a small market operation with a small budget, every dollar counts. Smith had been designated for assignment recently.

There is no fantasy impact here, as Smith is merely a depth catcher who figures to only see spot duty in Atlanta.
