Smith went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Thursday's 5-3 victory over the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
He took Chris Tillman deep in the fifth for his first homer since he'd launched a pair versus the Padres back on May 31. Smith had a quiet June, tallying only four extra-base hits over 68 at-bats, while producing a .250/.293/.338 line.

Smith is out of the lineup Sunday against the Cardinals, MLB.com's Greg Johns reports.
EDGE Analysis
The lefty-hitting outfielder typically sits out against opposing lefty starters, so it should come as no surprise that he'll hit the bench with southpaw Jaime Garcia on the mound. Shawn O'Malley replaces Smith in left field.

Smith isn't in the lineup for Thurday's matchup with Detroit, Bob Dutton of the Tacoma News Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith will sit out due to left-handed starter Daniel Norris starting on the mound for the Tigers. Instead, the Mariners will use Leonys Martin, Franklin Gutierrez, and Nelson Cruz as their outfield combination.

Smith is out of the lineup Sunday against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Though Smith went 3-for-3 Saturday, he'll still be forced to sit out for the third time in four games with the opposition bringing a lefty starter in David Price to the hill. Smith still remains locked into the large portion of a platoon with Franklin Gutierrez in the corner outfield, so more at-bats should be forthcoming once the run of southpaw starters draws to a close.

Smith is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Smith will give way to Franklin Gutierrez in right field with left-hander Roenis Elias toeing the rubber for Boston. He has been heavily shielded from lefties this season (two starts against left-handed pitching) and that doesn't figure to change at any point.

Smith is out of the lineup for Thursday's matchup with the Rays, Rays Baseball broadcaster Neil Solondz reports.
EDGE Analysis
The left-handed Smith will cede the start in left field to the right-handed Norichika Aoki due to the opposing starting pitcher, Blake Snell, being left handed. Aoki will bat eighth while Smith sits out.

Smith is out of the lineup Saturday against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
As is almost always the case, Smith will be held out with a lefty (Martin Perez) on the mound for the Rangers. Stefen Romero will start in left field with Franklin Gutierrez starting in right. Smith will likely be out again Sunday as the Rangers send another southpaw (Derek Holland) to the mound.
