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.
