Josh Smith News: Idle for series opener

Published on June 23, 2025

Smith is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.

The left-handed-hitting Smith started against Pirates lefty Bailey Falter in Sunday's 8-3 loss, but he'll head to the bench for the series opener in Baltimore while the Orioles send southpaw Trevor Rogers to the bump. Jonah Heim will replace Smith in the lineup at designated hitter.
