Smith has gone 4-for-12 with two extra-base hits and two RBI over four games since returning to the majors. He's getting a decent share of playing time at first base to close out the campaign. For the year, he's batting .167 with a .504 OPS, two homers, eight RBI, seven runs scored, two doubles and two stolen bases over 101 plate appearances in the majors.

Smith served as the designated hitter and went 1-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 8-7 win over the Marlins.

Smith doubled and scored on a double steal in the bottom of the third inning, when the Diamondbacks erased Miami's early 3-0 lead. This was the second start in three games for the left-handed hitter, who had his contract selected from Triple-A Reno on Saturday. The Diamondbacks are well aware of their lackluster numbers against right-handed pitching, and Smith could help give those metrics a boost as the primary DH.

Smith started at designated hitter and went 1-for-1 with an RBI in Saturday's 6-2 loss to Texas.

Smith had his contract was selected from Triple-A Reno on Saturday, and was immediately inserted back into the lineup. His third-inning single knocked in the Diamondbacks' first run and was his lone plate appearance, as Ildemaro Vargas pinch hit for him in the fifth inning against left-hander Robert Garcia. Smith could get regular turns as a DH against righties, against whom Arizona ranks next-to-last in the league with a .684 OPS.

The Diamondbacks selected Smith's contract from Triple-A Reno on Saturday.

With Reno, Smith hit .301 with a .925 OPS across 181 trips to the plate to earn another chance at the big-league level.
