Smith is not in the lineup Sunday against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old went 3-for-4 with a run scored Saturday and will take a seat in the series finale with Christian Walker starting at first base. Smith saw most of his recent action at first base, but he'll likely split reps in right field going forward with Josh Reddick after Walker was activated from the injured list Saturday.

Smith started in right field and went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Smith moved to right field from first base to make room for Christian Walker, who was activated off the injured list. Smith had been filling in for injured players in center field, right field and at first base, but players are starting to return and opportunities for Smith are dwindling. Right field, which is available due to Kole Calhoun's hamstring injury, is where the at-bats exist now. It may come down to a choice between Smith and Josh Reddick, who started seven of the first eight games since joining the roster, but the Diamondbacks would likely choose the younger Smith.

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. Smith has gone 11-for-29 (.379) with a home run, five RBI and four runs scored during a seven-game hitting streak. 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 went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Sunday's 4-3 loss to Colorado.
EDGE Analysis
Smith put Arizona in the lead with his two-run shot off Jon Gray in the sixth inning, his fourth long ball of the year. It was his first homer since May 2 and he has just five extra-base hits this month. The 25-year-old owns a .697 OPS through 181 plate appearances this season.

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.

EDGE Analysis
Smith knocked a leadoff double in the first inning and came around to score on a David Peralta groundout. The 25-year-old outfielder then singled and scored in the third. He's scored 16 runs with 13 extra-base hits through 126 plate appearances.

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.
