Smith (1-1) allowed one hit and two walks (one intentional) while striking out one over 1.2 scoreless innings to claim the win over San Francisco on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Smith was the pitcher of record when Arizona plated five runs in the bottom of the eighth inning for a comeback win. He had been a candidate to start the game, which would have been Zach Davies' (shoulder) turn through the rotation, but manager Torey Lovullo went with Tyler Gilbert, up from Triple-A Reno. Smith has sparkled in a long-relief role (3.03 ERA, 35.2 IP) and could join the rotation, which is unsettled beyond its top three starters.

Smith allowed three hits and struck out four over three scoreless relief innings in Tuesday's 7-6 win over the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Smith held San Diego off the scoreboard for three innings, which gave Arizona hitters the opportunity to erase a 6-0 deficit for the win. While Smith's ERA is 5.11, the left-hander has whittled that down from a horrendous start that prompted the organization to demote him to Triple-A Reno. Since May 1, when the Diamondbacks brought him back to the majors as a multi-inning reliever, Smith sports a 3.27 ERA over 33 relief innings. He may get consideration for a move into the rotation following the team's decision to place Zach Davies (shoulder inflammation) on the 15-day injured list.

Smith was charged with two earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four in 4.1 innings of long relief in Tuesday's 14-8 loss to the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Smith did his best to save the rest of the Arizona bullpen after starter Tyler Gilbert ceded seven runs (six earned) while recording only five outs before departing. With Gilbert unlikely to get another turn through the rotation this weekend in Philadelphia, Smith could be built up enough to make a spot start, but the Diamondbacks are more likely to turn to the recently signed Dallas Keuchel to step in as their new fifth starter.

Smith struck out six over three perfect innings in Wednesday's 11-3 loss to the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Smith entered after starter Merrill Kelly survived nine baserunners over five innings. The lefty has been plagued by inconsistency but delivered his best performance of the season. Since returning from Triple-A Reno, Smith has allowed one run on four hits and two walks while striking out eight over 5.1 innings.

Smith was recalled from Triple-A Reno prior to Friday's game.

EDGE Analysis

He worked as a multi-inning reliever at Triple-A, giving up one run on eight hits and one walk with five strikeouts in 7.2 innings over three appearances. Smith should work in a similar role out of the big-league bullpen.

Smith will pitch out of the bullpen in a long-relief role at Triple-A Reno, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith was sent down to the minors over the weekend with Matt Peacock getting the call to Arizona. If Smith returns to the Diamondbacks, it will likely be as a multi-inning reliever.

The Diamondbacks optioned Smith to Triple-A Reno on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

After he was tagged for five runs over three innings out of the bullpen in Friday's 10-3 loss to the Mets, Smith was unlikely to be available in relief for another day or two. The Diamondbacks thus elected to swap him off the 28-man active roster in favor of a fresh arm in Matt Peacock, who will be available as a multi-inning option out of the bullpen in Sunday's series finale.

Smith allowed five runs on five hits and three walks while striking out two over three relief innings in Friday's 10-3 loss to the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Smith was back to the bullpen after making one sketchy start in place of the injured Luke Weaver (elbow). He was better as a reliever than as a starter in 2021, but his first relief appearance in 2022 did not go well. He entered to start the seventh inning with the Diamondbacks down 5-1, and absorbed a pounding over the final three innings. That included giving up two more home runs, his third and fourth allowed over four innings. Humberto Castellanos, who will start Sunday's series finale in New York, is now taking Weaver's rotation spot.

Smith will pitch out of the bullpen after Humberto Castellanos was named the starter for Sunday's game against the Mets, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith struggled in his season debut Sunday against the Padres, as he allowed five runs (four earned) on two hits and three walks while striking out two in one inning to take the loss. The southpaw made most of his appearances as a reliever in 2021, and he'll take on a bullpen role once again while Castellanos serves as a starter. Smith should be one of the top options to fill in as a starter if needed.

Smith (0-1) got the loss in Sunday's 10-5 defeat at the hands of the Padres, allowing five runs (four earned) on two hits and three walks with two strikeouts in one inning.

EDGE Analysis

Smith started strong, recording both his strikeouts during a 1-2-3 first inning, but walked two batters and served up two long balls following a fielding error and was subsequently removed. It's a poor opening for the 30-year-old, who's looking to rebound from a down 2021 season that featured a 4.83 ERA and stints in and out of the starting rotation. He lines up to face the Mets in New York next Sunday.
