Smith was hit by a pitch on the right elbow Wednesday and was held out of Friday's game in Houston, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith was held out of Friday's game against a right-hander, which is atypical. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said the lefty-hitting Smith was available off the bench. Christian Walker started at first base and Daulton Varsho patrolled right field, Smith's usual haunts on the diamond.

Smith went 1-for-4 with a walk, a double, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 10-4 loss to Seattle.
EDGE Analysis
Smith returned to the starting lineup after being held out against a pair of left-handers Friday and Saturday. The lefty-hitting Smith has a .619 OPS against southpaws and .772 against righties. Manager Torey Lovullo has been consistent all season with using matchups like this, and that practice should continue as he evaluates several young players, some of whom hit from the right side, that have been added within the last month. Smith has done enough this season to warrant a role on the Diamondbacks in 2022.
