EDGE Analysis

A sore groin kept Smith out of the last week of spring training action, but his absence was mostly just precautionary as the Mariners looked to have him healthy for the start of the regular season. Smith will play the larger half of a platoon in right field this season, but with lefty Cole Hamels toeing the rubber for the Rangers on Opening Day, Smith will assume a reserve role for the day while Franklin Gutierrez gets the starting nod.

Smith (leg) will not play in Saturday's spring game, but manager Scott Servais hopes he will be available for Monday's season opener, MLB.com's Greg Johns reports.

EDGE Analysis

While Smith will have a chance to play Opening Day, he may not be in the starting lineup even if healthy with the Mariners set to take on Rangers lefty Cole Hamels. Smith posted an .801 OPS when facing right-handed pitchers last season, so he figures to see plenty of starts when righties are on the mound for the opposition.

EDGE Analysis

This is likely more precautionary than an issue that could spill into the regular season, but it could still warrant a double-check before plugging him into Opening Day lineups. Outside of a few games missed with groin tightness earlier in March, Smith enjoyed an excellent spring and should figure to see the team's majority of starts at right field.
