Smith went 1-for-5 with two RBI in Wednesday's loss against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Smith made his presence felt in the top of the sixth inning with a two-out, two-run single that scored Josh Rojas and Ketel Marte, but he was silent the rest of the way. The first baseman has been very inconsistent at the plate and has hit safely in just five of his last 11 contests, posting a meager .216 average with just three RBI and a 3:8 BB:K in that span (37 at-bats).

Smith is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Smith struck out twice in an 0-for-4 performance in Monday's loss to San Francisco. He'll get a breather for at least the beginning of Tuesday's game while veteran Josh Reddick mans right field and bats seventh.

Smith isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Smith went 2-for-4 in Tuesday's loss to Oakland, but he'll get a breather for Wednesday's series finale. Christian Walker will take over at first base and bat fourth.

Smith started in left field and went 2-for-4 in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to Oakland.

EDGE Analysis

With Arizona playing in an American League ballpark, manager Torey Lovullo could get all of his hitters in the lineup. That meant Smith, Josh Reddick and Christian Walker could coexist. On Tuesday, the manager used David Peralta at DH while Smith started in left field for the first time this season. All of those players should be in the lineup for the final game of the two-game set Wednesday. As one of the few members of the team that's hitting with regularity, Smith should be in the lineup Wednesday. He's hit safely in 16 of 18 games, going 25-for-64 (.391) with seven extra-base hits, eight RBI and 12 runs scored during that stretch.

Smith is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Christian Walker's recent return from the injured list and Josh Reddick's ongoing surge at the plate has made finding playing time for Smith more of a challenge of late, but the rookie still appears fairly secure in a near-everyday role. Though he'll sit Thursday, Smith has earned regular at-bats for an Arizona squad going nowhere by providing an .804 OPS while striking out in only 16.1 percent of his 218 plate appearances on the season.

Smith started at first base and went 1-for-4 with a walk, a three-run home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Smith extended his hitting streak to 12 games, going 19-for-46 (.413) with six extra-base hits (two homers), eight RBI and nine runs scored during the streak. He and Josh Reddick have been the hottest hitters in the lineup, so manager Torey Lovullo is working to get both in the lineup whenever possible. The manager had the lefty Smith start at first base Sunday and Monday against right-handers instead of the righty-batting Christian Walker.

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.
