Swats fourth homer Smith went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's win over the Phillies.

Impact The 30-year-old got hold of a splitter up in the zone from Taijuan Walker in the third inning, giving Smith his fourth homer of the season. He's put together a blistering start to the season as Atlanta's primary DH against right-handed pitching, slashing .362/.380/.660 over 50 plate appearances with 10 runs and 16 RBI, but Smith's playing time will shrink once Sean Murphy (hip) is cleared to come off the IL.

Powers Atlanta's offense Smith went 3-for-4 with a double and four RBI during Atlanta's 6-5 win over Miami on Tuesday.

Impact Smith put Atlanta on the board with an RBI single in the second inning, and he gave his team the lead for good in the eighth with a bases-clearing double. The veteran slugger has logged at least one RBI in four of his last five outings, and over that span he has gone 8-for-14 (.571) with one home run and nine RBI. Smith should continue to see regular playing time as Atlanta's designated hitter for as long as Sean Murphy (hip) is on the 10-day injured list.

Big night against Cleveland Smith went 3-for-4 with two runs scored and two RBI in Friday's win over the Guardians.

Impact The 30-year-old has had an impressive start to the season as a strong-side platoon option at designated hitter. Through 10 games, Smith is slashing .357/.400/.571 with two homers, eight runs and eight RBI, but his playing time could take a hit once Sean Murphy (hip) comes off the IL, giving Atlanta more flexibility to use one of its catchers at DH.

Sitting versus righty Smith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Smith's three previous absences from the lineup this year came against lefty starters, but he's sitting Sunday despite the fact that right-hander Brandon Pfaadt is pitching for Arizona. Ronald Acuna is resting his legs as the DH, which allows Eli White to pick up a start in right field.

Walk-off grand slam in team debut Smith went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Royals.

Impact Smith played the role of hero Saturday, crushing a walk-off grand slam in his team debut to punctuate Atlanta's six-run comeback in the ninth inning. With Sean Murphy (hip) on the injured list to begin the year and Jurickson Profar suspended for the entire season, the left-handed-hitting Smith has a clear pathway to at-bats at designated hitter versus right-handed pitching for the time being.
