On Tuesday, Bochy allowed that Smith’s fastball has been “off” for a bit. It’s not the drop in velocity that’s a concern. He was averaging 92.8 mph with his four-seamer through the All-Star break; it’s 91.8 mph since. The two pitches that scored the tying and go-ahead runs on Monday were both four-seamers.

We need to make sure we keep them rested and in the right ‘pocket’ of hitters.”Smith, 34, is on pace for 60 appearances this season, which is in line with his workload from the last two seasons. He worked 65 games last year between Atlanta and Houston and 71 for the Braves in 2021.
