Smith, Gunnar Hoglund, Zach Logue and Kirby Snead were traded from the Blue Jays to the Athletics on Wednesday in exchange for Matt Chapman, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith got his first taste of major-league action in 2021 and hit .094 with a solo homer and two runs across 18 games. In spite of his growing pains during his first stint in the majors, he was productive at Triple-A Buffalo last year, slashing .285/.370/.561 with 21 home runs, 69 RBI, 65 runs and 18 stolen bases. Even if he begins the 2022 campaign in the minors, it wouldn't be surprising to see him return to the big leagues at some point this year.

Smith was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Smith was recalled by Toronto on Wednesday, but he didn't record any plate appearances during his time on the major-league roster. He'll head back to Buffalo after Santiago Espinal (hip) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Friday.

Smith was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Smith spent nearly two weeks in Buffalo and hit .258 with two doubles, six runs and three RBI across seven minor-league games since his demotion. He'll be available off the bench in Wednesday's series finale against the Rays after Breyvic Valera (undisclosed) was placed on the COVID-19 injured list.

Smith was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Although Smith saw six consecutive starts to close out the month of August, his playing time decreased in early September, as he was in the lineup for just three of the last eight games. The 25-year-old will receive more consistent at-bats in Buffalo and will be an option to rejoin the Blue Jays if they encounter injuries.

Smith isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Smith's playing time has dried up recently, and he'll head to the bench for the fourth time in the last five games. Jake Lamb will start at the hot corner and bat eighth.

Smith isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Smith has gone hitless with a run, a walk and four strikeouts in his last 11 at-bats, and he'll be out of the lineup for the fourth time in the last six games. Jake Lamb will start at the hot corner and bat eighth.

Smith is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Smith's streak of six consecutive starts comes to an end, as Breyvic Valera checks in for him at third base. The rookie Smith went 2-for-13 with a solo home run and three walks over that six-game stretch, but he may need to raise his performance in his subsequent starts to avoid moving into more of a timeshare at the position with Valera.

Smith went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, a walk and a hit by pitch in Sunday's 2-1 win over Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old went yard in the fourth inning to give Toronto a 2-0 lead. Smith also committed an error in the sixth that ultimately allowed Detroit to get on the board, but starter Jose Berrios was able to limit the damage there. Smith has just three hits in 19 at-bats this season in his first taste of major-league action. He should see regular playing time at third base with Cavan Biggio (elbow) and Santiago Espinal (hip) both on the injured list.

Smith will start at third base and bat eighth Sunday against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

After making starts at three different positions -- left field, third base and first base -- over Toronto's last three contests, Smith could find a more permanent home at the hot corner in the short term. With Santiago Espinal (hip) joining Cavan Biggio (elbow) on the injured list Sunday, Smith's only competition for reps at third base is likely utility man Breyvic Valera, whose playing time has fallen by the wayside of late.

The Blue Jays selected Smith's contract from Triple-A Buffalo ahead of Wednesday's game against the Nationals, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

For the second day in a row, the Blue Jays promoted a utility man from Triple-A to help fill out the big-league bench, as Smith joins Otto Lopez in Toronto. The 25-year-old has seen the bulk of his playing time at shortstop and third base this season, but he'll be an option at second base or the corner-outfield spots if the Blue Jays want to give one of their regulars a day off. Smith flashed an interesting fantasy profile at Triple-A -- he hit .283 with 19 home runs and 16 stolen bases -- so he could be worth monitoring in AL-only formats if he falls into steady playing time at some point.
