Smith will head to the bench for Tuesday's tilt with the Mets, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old had drawn two straight starts after getting called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City and notched his first two career hits in his Tuesday debut, but he'll rotate out for this bout with the Mets and make way for Russell Martin. Smith's callup was due to a groin injury to Austin Barnes, who is on track to return after the minimum time on the 10-day injured list, so it remains to be seen what role Smith will have when Barnes gets back. Barnes is a trusted option, but the offensive upside Smith demonstrated at Triple-A makes for a compelling case that he should receive an extended run with the big club.

Smith went 2-for-4 with a double and a run in the Dodgers' 7-3 defeat to the Mets on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Making his MLB debut, Smith made a positive first impression, slapping a single in his first-career at-bat before cranking a two-bagger later in the game. The 24-year-old is a talented hitter and was lighting up Triple-A Oklahoma City before he was called up, so hopefully it continues to translate and he can make a case to manager Dave Roberts that he deserves regular at-bats while Austin Barnes (groin) is on the injured list.

Smith has been called up to the Dodgers and is expected to start Tuesday against the Mets, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith's promotion was presumed after Austin Barnes sustained a groin injury Sunday that has landed him on the 10-day injured list, and the Dodgers made the move official Monday. Smith will get a chance to make an impact in short order, as manager Dave Roberts said he'll get his first MLB start Tuesday, per Hoornstra. Smith was mashing in Triple-A, posting a .954 OPS over 138 at-bats.

Smith is expected to be promoted to the Dodgers on Monday, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith is expected to earn his first promotion to the majors in the wake of Austin Barnes' battle with a groin injury. Smith has hit well at Triple-A Oklahoma City, slashing .290/.404/.551 across 166 plate appearances this season.

Smith is slashing .277/.395/.546 with eight homers and 27 RBI through 130 at-bats for Triple-A Oklahoma City.

EDGE Analysis

Smith has been red-hot at the dish for Oklahoma City, as a three-hit, two-homer day Tuesday gave him five long balls in 10 games. He's currently sporting a robust .941 OPS, showing vast improvement at the Triple-A level compared to his 25-game stint with Oklahoma City last season that saw him hit just .138. Smith is considered one of the top two prospects the Dodgers have at catcher along with Keibert Ruiz.

Smith went 3-for-4 with a home run, double and three RBI for Double-A Tulsa in its 9-5 loss to Northwest Arkansas on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

It's the fourth consecutive game with a home run for Smith, who upped his season count to 16, placing him in a tie for second place in the Texas League. Nine of those long balls have come in his last 14 games, with Smith slashing an otherworldly .447/.542/1.128 over that span. The 23-year-old has been sharing time at Tulsa this season with the Dodgers' top catching prospect, Keibert Ruiz, with Smith receiving starts at third base and designated hitter on days when he's not catching.

Smith has gone 9-for-36 with two home runs, four RBI, seven walks and 11 strikeouts in 11 games since returning from the 7-day disabled list.

EDGE Analysis

After a four-week stint on the DL, Smith returned June 3 and has since hit .250/.372/.444 -- numbers pretty well in line with his season stats (.254/.345/.446). The 32nd overall pick in 2016, Smith has made 15 starts behind the plate this year and 14 at third base.

Smith was placed on the 7-day disabled list at Double-A Tulsa on Tuesday due to an undisclosed injury, Eric Stephen of TrueBlueLA.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith, who is hitting .255/.333/.447 with four home runs across 105 plate appearances with Tulsa, last appeared in a game Sunday, so that's presumably when he acquired the injury. Assuming the setback isn't a significant one, Smith should be back in action in the minimum amount of time or shortly after. Tulsa promoted Hamlet Marte from High-A Rancho Cucamonga to add more catching depth in the meantime.

Smith was moved from Dodgers spring training to minor-league camp Monday, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith's bat was fairly quiet this spring, as he went 3-for-14 (.214) at the plate and struck out five times. Smith figures to spend much of the 2018 season at Double-A Tulsa, as a hand injury limited him to just one game there following his promotion from High-A Rancho Cucamonga last season.

Smith has been invited to the Dodgers' major-league camp this spring, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith will join fellow catching prospect Keibert Ruiz at big-league camp, though both backstops are expected to open the 2018 campaign in the minors given the trio of catchers already on the Dodgers' 40-man roster. The 22-year-old spent most of his season with High-A Rancho Cucamonga, hitting .232/.355/.448 with 11 homers in 72 games before earning a promotion to Double-A Tulsa. He appeared in just one game for the Drillers, but was hit by a pitch on the hand and forced to miss the remainder of the season. He should return to Tulsa to start the season.
