Manager Brandon Hyde said Sunday that Smith (concussion) would begin a minor-league rehab assignment this week before likely rejoining the Orioles for their West Coast road trip that begins Monday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com repots.
EDGE Analysis
The Orioles were initially hopeful that Smith would be ready to return from the 7-day injured list this weekend when first eligible, but the outfielder failed to recover from his concussion as quickly as anticipated. During Smith's ongoing absence, Anthony Santander has settled into an everyday role in the outfield, starting each of the past nine games while going 12-for-35 (.342 average).

Smith (concussion) could be activated from the 7-day injured list over the weekend, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith landed on the 7-day injured list last Friday following a collision with the outfield fence. While the outfielder was initially expected to be sidelined for a while, it now sounds like he could return after a brief (possibly minimal) stay on the shelf. Smith took batting practice on the field Thursday, and he could return during the team's three-game series against the Red Sox if he passes a few more tests in the coming days.

Smith (concussion) was placed on the 7-day injured list Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Brandon Hyde said Thursday that Smith is expected to "be out for a while" after a violent collision with the outfield fence, so his move to the IL was to be expected. The 26-year-old is dealing with the concussion, has a sore jaw, and underwent X-rays on his shoulder, though the results of the test are not yet known. Smith currently has no timetable for his return.

Smith is expected to "be out for a while" in the estimation of manager Brandon Hyde, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports. "He's going through concussion protocol, they're going to X-ray his shoulder up here that he banged in the wall and he's holding his jaw. It was like a car wreck."
EDGE Analysis
The initial diagnosis doesn't look good for Smith, who's dealing with a variety of injuries after crashing into the outfield fence during Thursday's matchup. The Orioles should know more on his status in the near future, though a trip to the injured list appears likely at this point.

Smith left Thursday's game against the Rangers after running into the outfield fence, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith made a stellar catch at the wall to end the inning, but he paid the price and had to leave the contest with an injury. The location and extent of the issue remain unknown at this time. Keon Broxton entered the game to play center field, while Stevie Wilkerson moved to left following Smith's departure.
