Smith went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk Thursday in a loss to the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
St. Louis jumped out to an eight-run lead after six innings, so Smith's two-run eighth-inning shot was little more than a consolation prize. Still, it was an important hit for the 26-year-old, as it was his first long ball of the campaign. Smith has been productive of late, driving in four runs over his past three games.

Smith is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old started the past six games and will receive Sunday off despite the fact righty Tylor Megill is pitching for the Mets. Smith has come on strong of late, going 8-for-17 with three doubles, two walks, two RBI and a run over his past five contests. Jake McCarthy will start in right field in his absence.

Smith went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Smith had multiple hits and doubled for a second straight game, as the lefty-hitting outfielder's average surged this week. He's 8-for-17 with two walks, three doubles and two RBI over five games. Following a .160 start (4-for-25), Smith is batting .286 through 14 games.

Smith went 3-for-4 with a double in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Despite the Nationals rolling out right-handers in both games, Smith was on the bench for the afternoon affair while Jake McCarthy got the start in right field. Smith, who walked as a pinch hitter in the first game, resumed his role as the team's primary right fielder for the evening contest and delivered his second multi-hit performance in nine starts. With a .241 batting average, he's a rare breed in the Diamondbacks' lineup in that he's just one of three batters with an average above .200.

Smith is out of the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
Smith will presumably be back in the lineup for the nightcap, but he'll see a streak of five straight starts come to an end by taking a seat in the front end of the twin bill. With Smith on the bench, Jake McCarthy receives a turn in right field.

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 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.
