Smith, a first baseman by trade, was in competition for Lewis for the last spot on the bench. Despite hitting .300 in 30 trips to the plate, he was beat out by Lewis with the latter slugging his way onto the roster. In six games with Triple-A Reno, Smith is 5-for-23 with two doubles, three walks, and three RBI. As a left-handed bat, he'll split time between first base, corner outfield, and the designated hitter.
