Smith went 2-for-4 with an RBI single in a win over the Blue Jays on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Smith's third-inning single completed the Rays' comeback from an early 3-1 deficit and extended his hitting streak to five games in the process. The speedster also an RBI apiece in each of his last three contests and is hitting a blistering .588 (10-for-17) over the aforementioned five-game stretch.

Smith went 3-for-4 with a triple, one RBI and two runs scored Saturday against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Smith narrowly missed a home run in the third inning, when he lined a pitch off the top of the right field wall for an RBI triple. This was his third consecutive multi-hit game and he has also scored four runs in that span. However, he hasn't successfully stolen a base since May 24, a dampener on his fantasy appeal.

Smith went 2-for-3 with a run in a loss to the Mariners on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

That's back-to-back two-hit efforts for Smith, who'd snapped out of a 1-for-26, eight-game slump Thursday. The speedy outfielder has provided almost nothing in the long-ball department thus far in his big-league career, so the ability to get on base consistently through other means is vital to his fantasy prospects. The modest two-game resurgence is therefore encouraging, and it remains to be seen if it represents the beginning of a stretch of hot hitting.

Smith went 2-for-4 with a run in a loss to the Mariners on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The multi-hit effort was his first since May 28, and it snapped a nightmarish 1-for-26 slump that had encompassed his last eight games overall. Smith struck out at an eye-popping 39.3-percent clip over that sample, a significant boost over his 21.6 percent season figure. The struggles also served to drop his average 32 points to .265, but perhaps Thursday's success will serve as a springboard.

Smith will lead off and man center field Sunday against the Mariners, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith is in the leadoff spot against a right-hander pitcher for the third straight game, so it appears safe to conclude he has unseated Brad Miller for the table-setting role. Though he's a non-entity in the power department, Smith has shown improved on-base skills this season and is the top stolen-base threat on the roster, which should help his case for sticking atop the order now that Denard Span is in Seattle.

Smith went 2-for-6 with a game-winning RBI single and a double in an extra-innings win over the Athletics on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Smith was productive out of the leadoff spot, a slot he was thrust into Monday after Brad Miller suffered a pregame facial contusion. The speedster ultimately put an end to the extra-innings marathon with a two-out single to right field that plated Johnny Field, giving the Rays a 1-0 lead that ultimately held up in the home half of the 13th. Smith now owns a five-game hitting streak and is reportedly set for more leadoff duty in the wake of Denard Span's recent trade to the Mariners.

Smith is starting in center field and hitting leadoff Monday against the Athletics, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brad Miller was a late scratch due to a facial contusion, so Smith will occupy the leadoff spot for Monday's series opener. Per Topkin, manager Kevin Cash recently said that he'd like to eventually move Smith to the top of the order at some point, so the speedster could continue to find himself situated atop the order if he continues to hold his own at the dish (.295/.373/.389 across 46 games).

Smith went 1-for-2 with two walks and was caught stealing on his only attempt in a loss to the Orioles on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Smith was one of the few bright spots for the moribund Rays offense on the night, hitting safely for the fourth time in the last six games. The speedster has cooled off some after seeing his average hit .353 as recently as late April, but his current .296/.369/.394 line is still the best of his three major-league stints thus far.

Smith is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's series finale against the Red Sox, Steve Carney of Sports Radio 620 WDAE reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnny Field will get the call in center field and is slated to bat sixth as the Rays face left-handed pitcher David Price. Smith has put together a sluggish performance at the plate lately, batting .222 with five RBI over his last 14 games.

Smith went 3-for-5 with a run, an RBI and a stolen base in the Rays' 8-3 victory over the Angels on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The stolen base marked the 10th of the year for the 25-year-old speedster, who also raised his average up to .315 with the three-hit performance. Perhaps more importantly, his on-base percentage now stands at a solid .386 through 124 at-bats - a number that would greatly enhance his upside as far as steals if he can maintain the pace. He still doesn't have a home run this season so the lack of power would be his most glaring downside for fantasy purposes, but the fact that his OPS is still at .813 despite the lack of long balls shows that he's been doing a good job of producing in other areas.
