Manager Torey Lovullo said that Smith will undergo surgery Wednesday to remove loose bodies from his left elbow, Chris Garagiola of the Arizona Diamondbacks Radio Network reports.

Smith landed on the 10-day injured list in late March due to elbow inflammation before being transferred to the 60-day IL on Tuesday. His surgery is expected to keep him sidelined for approximately 6-to-8 weeks, lining him up to return sometime in late May or early June. Adrian Del Castillo and Jose Fernandez have made most of the starts at designated hitter while Smith has been out.
