Smith will start at third base and bat eighth Sunday against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

After making starts at three different positions -- left field, third base and first base -- over Toronto's last three contests, Smith could find a more permanent home at the hot corner in the short term. With Santiago Espinal (hip) joining Cavan Biggio (elbow) on the injured list Sunday, Smith's only competition for reps at third base is likely utility man Breyvic Valera, whose playing time has fallen by the wayside of late.
