Smith could wind up making Atlanta's 26-man roster in the wake of a season-long suspension to Jurickson Profar, Gabriel Burns of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

Profar was set to serve as Atlanta's primary DH while also serving as a platoon partner for Mike Yastrzemski in left field. Smith can't help on the latter front as a lefty swinger, but he might help fill the void at DH against right-handed pitching. The 30-year-old slashed .284/.333/.417 over 63 games for the Giants in 2025 with five homers while primarily playing first base.

Atlanta signed Smith to a minor-league contract Tuesday that includes an invitation to spring training, Chad Bishop of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith played well in 63 games with the Giants last season, slashing .284/.333/.417 with five home runs. The 30-year-old has not started a game at a position other than first base since 2021, when he was the Mets' regular left fielder. Matt Olson has played all 162 games in each of his four seasons in Atlanta, which means Smith is almost certainly ticketed for Triple-A Gwinnett.

Smith was diagnosed with a moderate hamstring strain after exiting Friday's 5-1 win over the Dodgers and is expected to miss the rest of the regular season, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After he was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday, Smith is eligible to return for the Giants' final five games of the regular season, but the team is expecting him to need at least two weeks to recover from the hamstring strain. The Giants are planning to call up Bryce Eldridge from Triple-A Sacramento ahead of Monday's game in Arizona, and he'll likely step in for Smith in the strong side of a platoon at first base or designated hitter with the right-handed-hitting Wilmer Flores.

The Giants placed Smith on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a right hamstring strain.

EDGE Analysis

Smith injured himself while doing the splits to catch a throw from Matt Chapman during Friday's contest, and it will now cause him to miss at least 10 days while on the injured list. Rafael Devers will start at first base Saturday against Los Angeles and figures to do so more often until Smith returns. Meanwhile, Jerar Encarnacion (hamstring) will come off the IL to claim the open spot on the active roster.

Smith was removed from Friday's game against the Dodgers with a right thigh injury, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith suffered the injury while extending to catch a throw from Matt Chapman in the fourth inning. It remains to be seen whether Smith's injury will force him to miss any additional time, but if that proves to be the case, Wilmer Flores would be in line to receive more starts at first base.

Smith is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

The left-handed-hitting Smith started in each of the Giants' last five games while the team went up against right-handed starting pitchers, but he'll bow out of the lineup for the series finale with southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez on the bump for Arizona. Smith's absence from the starting nine clears the way for Wilmer Flores to fill in at first base.

Smith went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 11-5 win over the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Smith's blast tied the game at 4-4 in the third inning. The first baseman has hit safely in his last nine games, going 13-for-37 (.351) with two homers and 11 RBI during the streak. That surge has him up to a .291/.341/.427 slash line with five long balls, 33 RBI, 26 runs scored, 12 doubles and two stolen bases over 220 plate appearances this season in a strong-side platoon role.

Smith isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

After extending his hitting streak to five games with a pair of singles Tuesday, Smith will grab a seat on the bench Wednesday with Rafael Devers covering first base and Wilmer Flores serving as the Giants' designated hitter.

Smith went 2-for-3 with a home run, four total RBI and one walk in Friday's 15-8 win over the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Smith continues to play well in a strong-side platoon role at first base. He's 22-for-71 (.310) with six extra-base hits and 15 RBI over 21 contests in August, though his homer Friday was his first since Aug. 2. The first baseman is up to a .284/.339/.414 slash line with four homers, 27 RBI, 21 runs scored, 10 doubles and two stolen bases across 54 games. Smith will likely continue to share first base with Rafael Devers, who is usually at the position when the Giants are facing a left-handed pitcher.

Smith is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

The left-handed-hitting Smith will retreat to the bench for the second time in the series while the Cubs send a lefty (Shota Imanaga) to the hill. Rafael Devers will fill in for Smith at first base, which opens the designated-hitter spot up for Wilmer Flores.
