Smith was removed from Friday's 10-0 win over the Angels after five innings with a sore right thumb, the Associated Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith reached base twice in his three plate appearances, recording a base hit to go with a walk, a run and his 27th stolen base of the season. According to the report, Smith hurt his thumb early in the contest, but continued to play through the issue before departing. The Mariners held an 8-0 lead at the time of Smith's removal, which offers hope that his early exit may have only been precautionary more than anything else.

EDGE Analysis
Smith has now hit safely in five straight games, and he's opened July by going 4-for-12 over the first three contests of the month. The 26-year-old is still in the process of propping up his season line after an abysmal start at the plate, but he's encouragingly boosted his average 70 points to .235 since returning from a demotion to Triple-A Tacoma.

Smith went 2-for-5 with a triple and two runs in a win over the Brewers on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The speedy outfielder legged out his fourth three-bagger of the season to lead off the game and quickly came home on J.P. Crawford's double. Smith's multi-hit effort was his third in the last five games, and he's now hit safely in seven straight contests overall. The month of June has been a turning point for Smith's season, as he's now raised his average 46 points to .237 since the calendar flipped with the help of an impressive 13 extra-base hits (nine doubles, Wednesday's triple and three home runs).

The speedy outfielder is hitting only .230/.302/.361 this year, but he's added 37 runs and three triples. He has gone 13-for-45 with two homers, five doubles, and three steals in his last 10 games.

Smith went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Sunday's victory over Oakland.
EDGE Analysis
Smith took Tanner Anderson deep in the third inning to tie the game 2-2. Improbably, it was Smith's second home run in three days and third overall in June. He has never hit more than three homers in a season, so there should be no expectation that the power outburst will continue. Smith is more known for his speed; he has stolen 18 bases this season, though Sunday he was thrown out trying to steal for only the second time this season.

EDGE Analysis
The speedy 26-year-old turned up the power this time, blasting his fourth home run of the season in the eighth inning off reliever Aaron Brooks. Since getting recalled on May 16 after a brief stint at Triple-A Tacoma, Smith seems to be finding his stride. Overall, he's tallied 29 runs scored, 18 RBI and 18 stolen bases while batting .224/.293/.343.
