Starts for Walker Smith started at first base in place of Christian Walker (forearm) and went 0-for-1 with two walks in Sunday's 7-5 loss to San Diego. Impact Walker sustained a forearm injury when he was hit by a pitch in Saturday's game and given Sunday off. The X-rays on Walker's arm came back negative, so there's reason to believe this was a one-game decision, after he played 10 consecutive games. Smith, who has filled in well when called on since being called up from Triple-A Reno, would likely fill-in against Kansas City righty Brad Keller on Monday if Walker remains out.
