Smith went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored Wednesday against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Smith sat consecutive games Sunday and Monday after beginning his big-league career with only two hits across 18 at-bats while striking out nine times. He's responded well since, going 3-for-7 with a triple, one run scored and two RBI in a pair of starts. Smith should remain the team's primary right fielder so long as he sticks in the majors.

Smith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

Smith went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts Saturday against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Smith has served as Houston's primary right fielder after an eye-catching spring training. His results haven't carried over into the regular season, however, as he is hitting only .111 across 21 plate appearances while also striking out nine times. If he continues to struggle to make consistent contact, Smith will likely lose playing time and potentially be in danger of a demotion to Triple-A Sugar Land.

EDGE Analysis
Smith is off to a bit of a slow start at the plate, going 2-for-11 with a couple singles and four strikeouts. Zach Dezenzo is getting the call in right field for the Astros while Smith receives a breather.

Smith is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith started his big-league career 1-for-1 but now sits at 1-for-5 with two walks through his first two games. He'll take a seat for Saturday's series finale, opening up right field for Zach Dezenzo.

Smith went 1-for-3 with a single during Thursday's 3-1 win over the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
The 22-year-old Smith earned a spot on the Astros' Opening Day roster after a strong spring and started in right field Thursday. Batting seventh in his MLB debut, he wasted no time registering the first hit of his big-league career, delivering the first pitch of his first at-bat through the right side of the infield during the second inning. The 2024 first-round pick made it to the majors with just 32 minor-league games under his belt, but he's now getting a chance as Houston's primary right fielder.

The Astros selected Smith's contract, and he'll start in right field and bat seventh in Thursday's season opener versus the Mets, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith will bypass the Triple-A level after hitting his way on the Opening Day roster with a .342/.419/.711 slash line to go with four home runs over 15 games during the Grapefruit League. The 22-year-old will have big shoes to fill as he steps into the everyday role in right field that used to belong to three-time All-Star Kyle Tucker, whom the Astros traded to the Cubs this winter in the deal that sent Smith to Houston.
