Smith went 2-for-3 with a double, a triple and two walks in Friday's 8-6 loss to St. Louis.
EDGE Analysis
Smith had his fourth consecutive multi-hit game and ran his overall hit streak to eight contests, going 13-for-32 with five extra-base hits and five RBI during the run. Since the arrival of Josh Reddick and the return of Ketel Marte to Arizona's outfield, Smith has made a home at first base, a position normally manned by the injured Christian Walker (oblique). However, Walker will be evaluated following Friday's rehab appearance and could return to action this weekend.

Smith went 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles and three RBI in Thursday's 5-4 extra-inning loss to St. Louis.
EDGE Analysis
The first baseman put Arizona within a run on a two-RBI double in the seventh. He added a game-tying RBI double in the eighth.

Overall, he's slashing .271/.314/.420 with four home runs, 18 RBI, 26 runs scored and a stolen base in 194 plate appearances. He's added 11 doubles and two triples. Smith has played well enough lately to stick in the lineup even when Christian Walker (oblique) returns from his rehab assignment.

Smith started in center field Tuesday then shifted to first base when Christian Walker (oblique) was removed from the game. He went 2-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and two runs scored.
EDGE Analysis
Smith has been getting a steady dose of at-bats due to early-season injuries. This is Walker's second go-round with a sore right oblique muscle after spending three weeks on the injured list because of it. With Ketel Marte (hamstring) nearing a rehab assignment, at-bats in center field will dry up for Smith. That leaves either first base, pending Walker's status, or right field, where Kole Calhoun (hamstring) is out until mid-June.

Smith went 3-for-5 with a double and an RBI in Thursday's 3-1 loss to Miami.
EDGE Analysis
Smith provided the only offense for the Diamondbacks, who had trouble scoring runs during a three-game sweep at the hands of the Marlins. He's been a lineup regular for much of the season due to injuries and should continue to see regular at-bats with Kole Calhoun (hamstring) sidelined until mid-June.

Smith may need to fill in for the injured Kole Calhoun (hamstring) in right field.
EDGE Analysis
Smith has received a steady diet of at-bats at first base with Christian Walker (oblique) on the mend, but the Diamondbacks may need a replacement in right field after Calhoun was removed from Tuesday's game. Calhoun is set for an MRI on Wednesday, which should clarify his status going forward. Josh Rojas and Josh VanMeter are also candidates for at-bats.

EDGE Analysis
Smith's second home run of the year came off Drew Smyly in the first inning of game two in the doubleheader Sunday. He homered as the leadoff batter and he's excelled in his new leadoff role.
