Smith was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Reno on Wednesday with a fractured right wrist, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old was demoted to Reno over the weekend and sustained the broken wrist in only his second game with the affiliate. Smith has a non-displaced fracture and is also dealing with some ligament damage, and he's expected to be sidelined for at least 6-to-8 weeks.

Smith was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old lost out on regular at-bats over the last week and a half since Ketel Marte has been limited to serving as the designated hitter. Smith should see more playing time in the minors, while Cooper Hummel was recalled to take his place on the active roster.

Smith isn't starting Wednesday against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Although right-hander Mike Clevinger is on the mound for San Diego on Wednesday, Smith will retreat to the bench for the fourth time in the last five games. Ketel Marte is serving as the designated hitter while Buddy Kennedy starts at the keystone.

Smith will sit against lefty Sean Manaea and the Padres on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Smith was close to a true everyday player early in the season but has now been on the bench against the last four southpaws the Diamondbacks have faced. He owns a 61 wRC+ against lefties over the course of his career and a 102 wRC+ against righties, so avoiding same-sided pitching may be good for him.

Smith went 4-for-5 with three RBI in Sunday's 11-7 win over the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Ketel Marte's continued presence as the designated hitter has cut into Smith's playing time lately. He made a case to get in the lineup more with four hits, all singles, including a go-ahead RBI knock in the sixth inning to spark Arizona's five-run rally. Smith has gone 7-for-16 (.438) in his last four contests, but he's slashing a meager .207/.288/.362 with nine home runs, 31 RBI, 20 runs scored and a stolen base in 64 games overall. Once Marte is able to play at second base, Smith should be able to resume his regular role as the primary DH.

Smith isn't in the lineup Saturday against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Smith went 3-for-23 with a homer, three runs, two RBI, two walks and two strikeouts over his last six games, and he'll take a seat for the third time in the last four matchups. Ketel Marte is serving as the designated hitter while Buddy Kennedy starts at the keystone.

Smith isn't starting Friday against Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Smith went 0-for-4 with a run and a walk in Wednesday's loss to the Padres, and he'll be out of the lineup for the second time in the last three games. Ketel Marte is serving as the designated hitter while Jake Hagers starts at the keystone.

Smith will sit Tuesday against San Diego.

EDGE Analysis

Smith has three hits across his last two games, though that follows a seven-game stretch in which he went 0-for-21. Ketel Marte (hamstring) will return to the lineup as the designated hitter Tuesday while Christian Walker starts at first base.

Smith went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Smith started at first base Sunday, allowing Christian Walker to rest his legs as the designated hitter. In the fifth inning, Smith swatted the third of Arizona's four homers in the contest. Over his last 22 games, he's gone a meager 10-for-77 (.130) while losing out on an everyday job with the emergence of Alek Thomas in center field. Smith is slashing just .194/.274/.358 with nine long balls, 28 RBI, 19 runs scored, a stolen base and six doubles through 61 contests. With Daulton Varsho picking up time in right field and prospect Buddy Kennedy challenging for playing time as the designated hitter, Smith's role could further shrink if he can't get his bat going.

Smith isn't starting Friday's game against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Smith went 0-for-18 with a run, an RBI, a walk and two strikeouts over his last six games and will get a breather Friday. Buddy Kennedy is serving as the designated hitter and batting sixth.
