Taking seat Wednesday Smith is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Wilmer Flores (hamstring) is still nursing an injury and will remain on the bench for a fifth straight game, but because the Pirates are sending a lefty (Andrew Heaney) to the hill, the left-handed-hitting Smith will exit the starting nine. Smith had been included in the lineup in each of the past four games as a replacement for Flores, going 4-for-18 with a home run, five RBI and three runs.

Sitting versus right-hander Smith is not in the lineup for Monday's contest in Atlanta.

Impact Smith has been serving as the Giants' primary first baseman against right-handed pitching, but he will take a seat in Monday's series opener. Wilmer Flores is handling first base and batting seventh for San Francisco.

Taking seat against righty Smith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Impact Though he'll head to the bench Sunday while the right-handed Yoshinobu Yamamoto takes the hill for the Dodgers, the left-handed-hitting Smith appears to be the Giants' preferred option at first base over Wilmer Flores, who re-enters the lineup for the series finale. Smith had started in each of the Giants' previous five matchups with righties, while Flores was held out of the lineup for all of those games. The two are likely to continue forming a loose platoon at the position until designated hitter Rafael Devers is deemed ready to make his debut as a first baseman.

Homers in Friday's win Smith went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 8-7 win over the Dodgers.

Impact Smith's solo shot in the fifth inning sparked a five-run rally for the Giants. This was his second homer with the team and the first at home. He's struggled with consistency at the plate lately, going just 3-for-21 (.143) over eight games in July so far. He's at a .244/.322/.385 slash line through 90 plate appearances this season while working in a timeshare with Wilmer Flores at first base.

Doubles in defeat Smith went 1-for-1 with a double and a run scored in Friday's 11-2 loss to the Athletics.

Impact The first baseman entered the game for Wilmer Flores in the eighth inning. Smith then hit a double to center field in the ninth before coming around to score the Giants' final run. The 30-year-old has appeared in five straight games, slashing .214/.214/.357 with two doubles and two runs scored across 14 plate appearances during that span.

Logs two hits in loss Smith went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Impact Smith singled in the second inning and added a double in the seventh before coming around to score. With that, the first baseman delivered his first multi-hit performance since June 13. The 30-year-old has been out of the lineup in five of the club's last eight games, losing playing time at first base to Wilmer Flores. Smith appeared in 19 games in June after signing a one-year contract with San Francisco on June 4, slashing .281/.368/.404 with eight RBI, six runs scored, four doubles, one home run and one stolen base across 68 plate appearances.

Losing work to Flores Smith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Impact After Rafael Devers made his Giants debut June 17, the left-handed-hitting Smith remained in the lineup at first base for San Francisco's ensuing two matchups with right-handed pitchers. Since then, however, Smith appears to have faded into more of a part-time role while the Giants have opened up more opportunities for Wilmer Flores, who was displaced at DH following the acquisition of Devers. Smith is on the bench Sunday for the fifth time in the Giants' last eight matchups with righties.

Sitting against RHP Smith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Impact The left-handed-hitting Smith will take a seat against a right-handed pitcher (Lucas Giolito) for the second time in the series. Smith has produced an .801 OPS in 16 games since joining the Giants earlier this month, but he could nonetheless have to settle for a part-time role at first base against right-handed pitching with the acquisition of Rafael Devers having displaced Wilmer Flores from the designated-hitter spot.

Not in Friday's lineup Smith is not in San Francisco's starting lineup against Boston on Friday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Smith will take a seat after going 1-for-10 with one RBI and four strikeouts during the Giants' three-game home series against the Guardians earlier this week. Wilmer Flores will start at first base and bat in the cleanup spot.

Doubles in loss Smith went 1-for-3 with a double, a run scored and a walk in Saturday's 11-5 loss to the Dodgers.

Impact Smith doubled to right field during the fifth inning and added a walk in the ninth before coming around to score. The 30-year-old has now logged at least one hit in four straight games, slashing .571/.625/.929 with four runs scored, three RBI, two doubles and a home run across 16 plate appearances during that span. The first baseman has provided an offensive boost since signing a one-year contract June 4. He's now slashing .364/.395/.545 with seven RBI, four runs scored, three doubles, a homer and a stolen base across 38 plate appearances.
