Smith will hit the bench Tuesday against lefty John Means and the Orioles.

Thanks to his excellent .322/.390/.636 season slash line, Smith is emerging as a near-everyday player for the Mets, starting against six of the last seven lefties the team had faced prior to Tuesday's contest. Pete Alonso will be the first baseman Tuesday, with Jeff McNeil starting in left field.
