Fantasy Impact:
Smith started and homered against the Cardinals on Wednesday but will take a seat for Thursday's series opener with the Padres. The 27-year-old is off to a hot start with a .381 average, two home runs, and a 1.268 OPS across 24 trips to the plate. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. will take over at designated hitter and hit second Thursday.
