Smith went 1-for-4 with a two-run double in Sunday's 4-2 loss to Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Smith was held out of the Astros' lineup for the past two games due to an illness, but he was given the green light to return Sunday. He made his impact felt in the seventh inning with a two-run double, which ended up being the only runs Houston scored. Smith is slashing .246/.326/.365 with three steals, three home runs and 20 RBI across 187 plate appearances this season but has a 29.4 percent strikeout rate as the rookie third baseman continues to get acclimated to major-league pitching.

Smith (illness) is starting in right field and batting sixth Sunday against the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
Smith sat out the previous two games due to an illness, but he'll rejoin the starting nine for Sunday's series finale in Cleveland. The 22-year-old has just one hit in his last 17 at-bats, and he's struck out eight times during that stretch.

EDGE Analysis
Smith is out of the lineup for a second consecutive game due to an illness, but he's feeling better and could be available off the bench, per Kawahara. The Astros will start Jose Altuve, Jake Meyers and Mauricio Dubon in the outfield for Saturday's contest.

Smith went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI on Sunday against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Smith was out of the lineup May 14 and 15 to get rest and potentially clear his head. That appears to have worked, as he has started all 10 of Houston's games since and gone 14-for-36 with only nine strikeouts in 39 plate appearances. He has just three RBI and five runs scored in that span, but Smith has still shown clearly improved results.

Smith went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored Friday against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Smith sat both Wednesday and Thursday but returned to the lineup Friday. He's started only eight of 14 games in May, greatly diminishing his fantasy appeal in redraft formats, though he has gone 7-for-27 with a pair of doubles and a .355 on-base percentage in that span.

Smith is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game in Texas.
EDGE Analysis
Following a stretch of four straight starts in right field, Smith has now been out of the lineup in consecutive games. Playing time for the rookie continues to be hit-or-miss over the last few weeks, and he hasn't helped himself by batting just .179/.319/.231 over the last 12 contests. Zach Dezenzo is in right field and batting ninth for the Astros on Thursday.

Smith is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Smith will hit the bench after he occupied right field in each of the previous four games while going 3-for-13 with three walks, three runs and one RBI. With Jose Altuve shifting back to left field Wednesday after starting at second base and designated hitter in the first two games of the series, Zach Dezenzo will slide over to right field, leaving no room in the lineup for Smith.

Smith is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
It marks two straight absences and four total over the last six contests. It's a trend that's unlikely to continue, either because Smith will resume a regular role with the big club or he will be sent down the minors so he can play every day. The Astros have Zach Dezenzo in right field and batting seventh Friday.
