EDGE Analysis

Manager Scott Servais says he's not sure what the extent of the soreness is, but it seemed enough to warrant extra rest for the southpaw. All signs indicate the scratch is precautionary and that Smyly will be ready for his season debut next Thursday against the Astros, but he'll likely be re-evaluated over the next week.
