Smith recently resumed throwing bullpen sessions, but he's still experiencing back tightness and is without a clear timeline for a return from the 15-day injured list, MLB.com reports.

The Royals placed Smith on the 15-day injured list Monday with low-back spasms.
Scouting Report
Has a massive frame (6-5, 248 pounds), so he can look imposing when on the bump. Can be a dominant left-handed reliever in the bigs. Despite his great size, he is not overpowering and is too hittable to be used as a starter. Gets into trouble when he walks too many hitters.
Long Range Potential: Quality left-hander.
