Smith (groin) is not in the listed starting lineup for Monday's opener against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Smith has been dealing with a groin injury of late, but is still expected to be available off the bench. The left-handed outfielder may have been a candidate to sit this one out anyway, as the Mariners will be facing off against southpaw Cole Hamels. In Smith's stead, Nelson Cruz will play right field, while Franklin Gutierrez will server as the DH.
