Smith went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Wednesday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Smith was in an 0-for-9 slump before a second-inning single that led to a run scored. The lefty-hitting outfielder is usually in the lineup against pitchers of either hand and had both hits off Houston lefty Framber Valdez.

Smith is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Smith is 1-for-8 with two walks through the first three games of the season and will head to the bench for Sunday's contest. Jake McCarthy will start in right field and bat eighth in his place.

Smith went 1-for-3 with two walks in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Along with Seth Beer, who hit a three-run walkoff home run, Smith was a bright spot in a lineup that could do little against starter Yu Darvish. Smith is not the fleetest of foot, having come up through the system as a first baseman despite getting the start in right field Thursday, so after a ninth-inning walk, he was replaced by pinch runner Jake McCarthy, who came around to score on Beer's blast.

Smith went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Friday's spring training game against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Smith launched his first Cactus League homer in the fourth inning off Chicago starter Kyle Hendricks, one of three blasts Arizona hit in that inning. He played all over the outfield in 2021 out of necessity, which exposed him defensively in positions at which he did not have a lot of experience. As such, the Diamondbacks plan to limit him to right field and first base in 2022. Thus far in spring training, he's played five in right, two at first base and one as the designated hitter. He's popped up in multiple spots in the batting order this spring, but Smith will likely slot in at fifth or sixth most games.

Arizona general manager Mike Hazen said Wednesday that Smith will primarily play in right field and at first base in 2022, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith was moved around last season out of need, adding left field (15 games) and center field (38 games) to his repertoire. However, in a post-season autopsy of 2021, the club noticed considerable defensive lapses, which led to the conclusion that he should stick to one side of the field.

Smith is not in the lineup Sunday against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old will take a seat for the second time in the past three games as Christian Walker will start at first base in Game 162. Smith may still make an appearance off the bench, and he'll head into the finale with a .733 OPS, 11 homers, 27 doubles, 49 RBI and 68 runs in 544 plate appearances.

Smith is not in the lineup Friday against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Smith went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a walk Thursday but finds himself on the bench for the second time in the past three days despite the fact a right-hander, Jon Gray, is pitching for Colorado. Christian Walker will start at first base Friday.

Smith went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a walk in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Smith singled home a run as part of a three-run first inning, singled in the third, walked in the seventh and singled in the ninth for his second game reaching base four times all season. The 25-year-old had been a bit cold of late, going 2-for-16 over his last seven games, though he's still slashing a decent .265/.323/.401 in 142 games this year.

Smith isn't starting Wednesday's game against San Francisco.

EDGE Analysis

Smith will be on the bench for the third time in the last four games with left-hander Alex Wood on the mound for the Giants. Christian Walker will start at first base and bat fifth.
