Smith is out of the lineup Sunday against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Mariners skipper Scott Servais will shield Smith from the Blue Jays' lefty hurler, J.A. Happ, enabling Norichika Aoki to claim another start. Smith could be at somewhat of an extended break; after Sunday's game, the Mariners are off Monday before kicking off a series with the Pirates on Tuesday. The Pirates are listing another lefty in Francisco Liriano as their projected starting pitcher for Tuesday, making it a good bet that Smith is out of the lineup for that contest, too.
