Smith (hand) made his season debut for Low-A Tampa on Tuesday, going 1-for-2 with a walk and stolen base. He also reached base when he was hit by a pitch.
EDGE Analysis
Smith missed the first three weeks of the season due to the hand injury, but he looks like he'll be ready to play for Tampa on an everyday basis moving forward. The 2019 second-round pick is playing full-season ball for the first time in his career after he initially reported to the Yankees' New York-Penn League affiliate shortly after being drafted.

Smith will miss the start of the season with a hand injury, Jim Callis of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear how serious the injury is. If it's a fracture, Smith could be out months, but Callis notes that the Yankees hope Smith will be able to join an affiliate (likely High-A or Double-A) in the near future.
