Cam Smith News: Absent from lineup again

Smith is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Reds.

It marks two straight absences and four total over the last six contests. It's a trend that's unlikely to continue, either because Smith will resume a regular role with the big club or he will be sent down the minors so he can play every day. The Astros have Zach Dezenzo in right field and batting seventh Friday.
