Dominic Smith is back with the Bombers.
The Yankees announced on Monday afternoon that they have re-signed the first baseman/outfielder to a minor league contract.
Smith, originally a first-round pick by the Mets, played with the Yankees this spring, putting up strong numbers in Grapefruit League action. In 13 games, Smith slashed .297/.289/.568 with three home runs and 12 RBI.
While it seemed like Smith may have a chance to make the team, he ended up exercising the opt out in his contract, hoping another club would sign him to a major league contract.
But Smith is now back with the Yankees organization, and he could be an option to be called up if the Yankees need another left-handed hitting option on the 26-man roster.
In 693 career big league games, Smith has 64 home runs and 259 RBI, posting an OPS of .716.
