Smith (hamstring) said his hamstring is feeling better and is testing it with running drills Friday, Roch Kubatko of MASN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith is not in the lineup for Friday's game, but it seems like he's on the verge of a return to the lineup if his word is true. Friday's test is expected to determine whether or not a DL stint is necessary, so more details about his injury should come out in the coming days.

Smith (hamstring) is not in the lineup Friday against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Nothing new has come up about Smith's hamstring injury, although it's likely that even if he was healthy for Thursday's contest, he would've stayed out with southpaw Drew Pomeranz hurling for Boston. Mark Trumbo will man right field in his stead.

Smith (hamstring) is not in the lineup Thursday against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Smith remains out of the Orioles' lineup with a hamstring strain, though it still hasn't been determined if he'll need to go on the DL. Mark Trumbo will man right field in his stead, while he should be considered day-to-day until the Orioles update his status.

Smith (hamstring) is feeling better Wednesday, but the team will take the next couple days to decide whether he needs to go on the DL, the Baltimore Sun's Eduardo A. Encina reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith left Tuesday's game with a right hamstring strain, but it remains to be seen if he will need a DL stint. Trey Mancini is leading off against a lefty and starting in left field in Wednesday's game in a National League ballpark, but the Orioles would likely like to get Smith back in the fold this weekend if at all possible as they head to home to face the Red Sox. Consider him day-to-day for now.

Smith (hamstring) is out of Wednesday's lineup against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
It is no surprise that Smith is out of action after suffering a hamstring strain Tuesday. Trey Mancini will get the start in left field and take over Smith's leadoff duties against left-hander Amir Garrett. Smith should be considered day-to-day for now, although he will likely miss at least a couple more games, given the nature of the injury.

Smith exited Tuesday's game against the Reds early with a strained right hamstring, Rich Dubroff of Press Box Online reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith was bothered by a hamstring issue this spring, so the diagnosis of another hamstring injury is a bit concerning. He'll likely undergo further tests in the coming days and a clearer picture in regards to the severity of the strain should become available soon.

Smith is out of the lineup Sunday against the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
With the Orioles facing a left-handed starter for the second time in the series, Smith will unsurprisingly bow out of the lineup, clearing the way for Mark Trumbo to move over from the DH spot to right field. Look for Smith to rejoin the starting nine at the top of the order for the series opener with Reds on Tuesday, when right-hander Bronson Arroyo is scheduled to take the hill for the opposition.

Smith is not in the lineup for Thursday's matchup with the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Left-hander Francisco Liriano is taking the hill for Toronto, so Smith will head to the bench for a night off. Mark Trumbo will move to right field to fill the void.

Smith is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Southpaw Drew Pomeranz is taking the hill for Boston in the series opener, so Smith will head to the bench for a night off per the usual trend. Craig Gentry will fill in for him in right field.

Smith is out of the lineup Sunday against the Yankees, Rich Dubroff of PressBoxonline.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
As has been the case for much of his career, Smith will be deployed in a platoon role with the Orioles this season, seeing at-bats almost exclusively against right-handed pitching. With lefty CC Sabathia taking the hill for the Yankees, Mark Trumbo will cover Smith's usual spot in right field, while Trey Mancini enters the lineup at DH.
