Two hits in return to lineup Smith went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored Friday against the Rangers.

Impact Smith sat both Wednesday and Thursday but returned to the lineup Friday. He's started only eight of 14 games in May, greatly diminishing his fantasy appeal in redraft formats, though he has gone 7-for-27 with a pair of doubles and a .355 on-base percentage in that span.

Christian Walker homer caps 6-run 7th for Astros in 6-3 win that ends Rangers' 6-game winning streak

Christian Walker hit a three-homer to cap a six-run seventh inning for the Houston Astros in their 6-3 win over Texas that ended the Rangers’ six-game winning streak

Not in Thursday's lineup Smith is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game in Texas.

Impact Following a stretch of four straight starts in right field, Smith has now been out of the lineup in consecutive games. Playing time for the rookie continues to be hit-or-miss over the last few weeks, and he hasn't helped himself by batting just .179/.319/.231 over the last 12 contests. Zach Dezenzo is in right field and batting ninth for the Astros on Thursday.

Sitting after four straight starts Smith is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

Impact Smith will hit the bench after he occupied right field in each of the last four games while going 3-for-13 with three walks, three runs and one RBI. With Jose Altuve shifting back to left field Wednesday after starting at second base and designated hitter in the first two games of the series, Zach Dezenzo will slide over to right field, leaving no room in the lineup for Smith.

Isaac Paredes homers in bottom of the 9th inning to lift Astros to 2-1 win over Royals

Isaac Paredes hit a tiebreaking solo home run in the ninth inning to lift the Houston Astros to a 2-1 victory over the Kansas City Royals Tuesday night

Absent from Astros' lineup again Smith is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Reds.

Impact It marks two straight games and four times over the last six contests that Smith has been absent from the Astros' lineup. 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.

Out of Wednesday's lineup Smith is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Milwaukee.

Impact Smith started the first two games of the series but will grab a seat in Wednesday's finale. The rookie outfielder's playing time has been trending downward the last two weeks, as he's started only seven of the past 13 contests. Smith is just 4-for-23 with a 33.3 percent strikeout rate over that span.

Tallies second double Smith went 1-for-3 with a double Tuesday against the Brewers.

Impact Smith's playing time has fluctuated lately as he sat two games over Houston's weekend series against the White Sox. However, he's re-entered the lineup for two consecutive matchups to begin the team's new series against Milwaukee and delivered only his second double of the season Tuesday. While Smith hasn't been particularly useful for fantasy purposes, he has offset a 30.2 percent strikeout rate with a 9.4 percent walk rate and .153 ISO across 96 plate appearances.

MAY 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

On bench again Sunday Smith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Impact Smith will take a seat for the second game in a row and seems to be losing his grasp on an everyday role after slashing just .205/.303/.359 over his first 89 big-league plate appearances. Zach Dezenzo has been swinging a hotter bat of late and seems to be getting prioritized in right field ahead of Smith, who could be headed to Triple-A Sugar Land in the near future if he's unable to get consistent at-bats.

Sitting down Saturday Smith isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox.

Impact Smith will give way to Zach Dezenzo in right field after going 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout in Saturday's series opener.

Not in Houston lineup Smith is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Tigers.

Impact Smith is just 4-for-22 at the plate since his two-homer game on April 18 and is now out of the lineup for the third time across the Astros' last six tilts. Zach Dezenzo is in right field and batting seventh for Houston.

Not starting Saturday Smith isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals.

Impact Smith will get a day to rest Saturday after going 0-for-2 with a walk in Friday's series opener. Zach Dezenzo will take his place in right field and bat seventh.

Grabbing seat Wednesday Smith is not in the lineup for Wednesday's tilt against the Blue Jays, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Smith had started each of the previous 13 contests but will get a breather Wednesday as the Astros try to complete a series sweep. Zach Dezenzo will cover right field and bat seventh.

APRIL 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Could see time in center field Smith took flyballs in center field prior to Monday's game against the Blue Jays and the Astros are considering using him at the position, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Impact Smith has exceeded expectations with how well he's taken to right field, a position he had never played before. The transition has been so seamless that the team is mulling using Smith in center field on days when it's looking to inject more offense into the lineup. The idea of Smith playing center field "is in its infancy," per Rome, and may never happen, but if it does, Zach Dezenzo would likely play right field those days, with Jake Meyers on the bench.
