Josh Smith News: Receiving day off vs. lefty

Published on May 18, 2025

Smith is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

Smith started the previous four games after missing a couple contests due to a back injury, and he'll take a seat Sunday after going 3-for-16 with an RBI and a run scored during that span. Ezequiel Duran will step in at shortstop against Houston southpaw Framber Valdez.
