Smith isn't starting Thursday against the White Sox, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although right-hander Johnny Cueto is on the mound for the White Sox on Thursday, Smith will head to the bench after he went 3-for-8 with two walks and three strikeouts over the last three games. Ezequiel Duran is starting at third base while Elier Hernandez serves as the designated hitter.

Smith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty-hitting Smith will retreat to the bench while southpaw Reid Detmers takes the mound for the Angels. Fellow rookie Ezequiel Duran will pick up the start at third base in place of Smith.

Smith went 2-for-2 with a double and a run scored in Friday's 5-2 win over the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Smith opened the game on the bench against a left-handed starter, but he entered as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning for Charlie Culberson and finished out the game at third base. Even though Smith normally sits against southpaws, manager Chris Woodward is a firm believer in lefty-righty matchups and often brings in a lefty hitter against righty relievers. That's allowed Smith to appear in all nine games since the break, including three off the bench.

Smith is not in Friday's lineup against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

As is typically the case, Smith will head to the bench with a lefty (Patrick Sandoval) on the hill for the opposition. Ezequiel Duran will start at third base while Nick Solak starts at designated hitter.

Smith will sit Wednesday versus the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Smith will take a seat after he went 2-for-6 over the first two contests of the series. Ezequiel Duran will start at third base and bat seventh against Seattle.

Smith is not in the starting lineup for Friday's series opener against the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Smith will get a day off to open the second half of the season as the team opens a four-game series in Oakland. Ezequiel Duran will take over at third base and bat seventh in the series opener.

Smith will sit for the second straight game Friday against Seattle.

EDGE Analysis

Smith has started just twice against a lefty this season, so it's no surprise to see him on the bench against a second consecutive lefty in Robbie Ray here. Charlie Culberson will get the start at third base.

Smith is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Smith has a .244/.327/.366 slash line with one home run, nine RBI and six runs through 11 games in July, and he'll take a seat Thursday with southpaw Marco Gonzales on the mound for Seattle. Charlie Culberson will start at the hot corner and bat ninth.

Smith went 1-for-4 with an inside-the-park home run and three RBI in Monday's 10-8 win over the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old showed off his speed for his first big-league homer, as his sixth-inning hit to center field ducked under Ramon Laureano's glove and rolled to the warning track. Smith still has yet to display over-the-fence power -- he had 13 long balls in 78 minor-league games last season, so it's not a huge element of his performance. The rookie has a .238/.375/.317 slash line with eight RBI, 10 runs scored, two stolen bases and two doubles through 81 plate appearances in 21 contests.

Smith isn't starting Saturday's game against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Smith went 1-for-4 with a run, an RBI and a strikeout Friday but will be held out of the lineup for the second time in the last three games. Charlie Culberson is starting at the hot corner and batting ninth.
