Rays manager Kevin Cash said he expects Smith (hamstring) to be available for Monday's game against the Tigers, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith exited Sunday's 9-0 win in the fifth inning after succumbing to cramps in both of his legs. The outfielder will receive treatment on his legs over the next 24 hours, which the Rays are hoping he'll be all he needs to recover from the issue. Smith is hitting .276 with 25 runs and 15 stolen bases over 82 games on the season.

Smith was removed from Sunday's game against the Mets in the top of the fifth inning due to leg cramps, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

After walking in his at-bat earlier in the inning, Smith appeared to tweak his leg while attempting to advance to second on Jesus Sucre's double-play groundball. Fortunately, the initial checkup suggests Smith isn't dealing with anything serious, but the Rays will wait and see how he's feeling Monday before determining whether he's fit to play in their series opener against the Tigers. Johnny Field replaced Smith in center field during Sunday's contest.

Smith went 1-for-4 with a triple in a loss to the Mets on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The outfielder is up to five three-baggers on the season already, and he's hit safely in all three of his starts thus far in July. Smith's stolen-base success rate (68.2 percent) isn't as stellar as his blazing speed might suggest, but he's undoubtedly a disruptive presence whenever he does get on. Factoring in Friday's production, Smith is slashing .275/.339/.375 with 18 extra-base hits (12 doubles, five triples, one home run) over 283 plate appearances.

Smith is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Marlins, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The recent return of Kevin Kiermaier from the disabled list has created a logjam in the outfield, with Smith and Carlos Gomez losing out on some at-bats as a result. Smith will ride the pine for the third time in five games, with two of those benchings coming against right-handed pitchers. The lack of stable playing time has made it increasingly difficult for fantasy owners in shallower formats counting on Smith for stolen-base production to keep rolling with him in their weekly lineups.

Smith went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 3-2 victory over the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Smith extended the Rays' lead to two in the eighth inning with a homer off Brad Peacock. Through 76 games in 2018, Smith is slashing .269/.333/.363 with 17 RBI and 15 stolen bases.

Smith is out of Saturday's lineup against the Astros, Steve Carney of Sports Radio 620 WDAE reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's notable that Smith is out of the lineup with a righty (Justin Verlander) on the hill for Houston, as he typically only sits against lefties. Smith is in a 4-for-37 (.108 AVG) funk at the plate over his last 13 games, swiping three bases over that stretch. Joey Wendle will get the start in left field, hitting fifth.

Smith is not in the lineup Monday against the Nationals, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith has struggled against lefties, so he'll sit against the southpaw Gio Gonzalez. Daniel Robertson will start in left field in his place, the first time Robertson has started in the outield in his major-league career.

Smith is not in the lineup Friday against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Smith started twice against righties in the first two games with Kevin Kiermaier back in the lineup, but he'll sit in favor of Johnny Field against the southpaw CC Sabathia. A platoon situation would make sense going forward, as Smith has a 103 career wRC+ against righties but just a 37 wRC+ against lefties.

Smith, who went 1-for-3 with a run in a loss to the Astros on Wednesday, will continue seeing semi-regular playing time at both left and right field in rotation with Johnny Field and Carlos Gomez, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith has played all three outfield positions this season, with his most extensive work coming in center field. Now that Kevin Kiermaier is back in action, Smith will primarily shift to the other two spots moving forward. The speedy 25-year-old has bounced back at the plate to an extent after a lackluster May (.233/.316/.326 line), as he's hitting .267 over 66 plate appearances in June while compiling five multi-hit efforts and a trio of extra-base hits (two doubles, one triple).

Smith is out of the lineup Sunday against the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Kevin Cash will hold both Smith and Joey Wendle out of the lineup in order to make room for a pair of right-handed bats (Rob Refsnyder and Adeiny Hechavarria) to counter Yankees southpaw CC Sabathia. Smith owns a .271/.300/.333 line (77 wRC+) against left-handed pitching for the season.
