Diamondbacks' Pavin Smith: Absent from lineup
Smith is not in the lineup for Monday's game in San Diego.
It's right-hander Walker Buehler on the mound for the Padres, but the left-handed-hitting Smith will nonetheless begin the contest on the bench. Smith -- who is slashing an ugly .157/.259/.214 in 25 games this season -- will yield first base to Ildemaro Vargas.

Diamondbacks' Pavin Smith: Sits against right-hander
Smith was held out of the starting lineup Saturday against Milwaukee right-hander Brandon Woodruff.
Smith is typically a lineup staple against righties, but Ildemaro Vargas got the start at first base Saturday. Smith is a career 1-for-11 against Woodruff, but the decision to sit him may have been more about a current slump. Smith is batting just .152 since coming off the injured list in late May and entered Saturday with two hits over his last 27 at-bats (.074).

Diamondbacks' Pavin Smith: Knocks in run in loss
Smith went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Giants.
Smith's run-scoring single was the first salvo in Arizona's attempted comeback in the bottom of the eighth inning, when the club scored its four runs. Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo continues to show patience with the slumping first baseman, who entered the game on a 1-for-23 (.043) skid, by running him out there when the team faces right-handers. Smith is slashing .152/.260/.212 with one home run and six RBI since coming off a lengthy stay on the injured list in late May.

Diamondbacks' Pavin Smith: Dropped in order
Smith batted eighth and went 0-for-4 in Friday's 6-1 loss to Tampa Bay.
Smith extended a hitless run to 14 at-bats and hasn't got the bat working since coming off the injured list in late May. He's batting just .154 (8-for-52) with one home run and five RBI while mostly batting fifth in the order.

Diamondbacks' Pavin Smith: Idle against southpaw
Smith is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.
The left-handed-hitting Smith will head to the bench while the Cardinals send southpaw Matthew Liberatore to the bump Wednesday. Smith had started in each of Arizona's last four games, going 2-for-14 with two walks and an RBI.

Diamondbacks' Pavin Smith: Idle against southpaw
Smith is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.
With the Angels sending a lefty starter (Sam Aldegheri) to the hill for the second straight day, the left-handed-hitting Smith will once again head to the bench. LuJames Groover will get the nod at first base in place of Smith.

Diamondbacks' Pavin Smith: Swats homer in win
Smith went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-3 win over the Angels.
Smith launched a solo home run in the seventh inning off the foul pole in right field to give Arizona a 3-2 lead. It was the first home run he's hit in 357 days. Smith has struggled since coming off the injured list and entered Monday's contest batting .087 (2-for-23) over 11 games since his return. Despite the grind, manager Torey Lovullo still plans to give him opportunities at first base or designated hitter when the Diamondbacks face right-handers.

Diamondbacks' Pavin Smith: Heading to bench vs. lefty
Smith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.
The left-handed hitter will head to the bench for the third time in four games while the Reds send lefty Andrew Abbott to the hill. LuJames Groover will get the nod at first base Sunday in place of Smith.

Diamondbacks' Pavin Smith: Getting regular run at DH
Smith served as the designated hitter and went 0-for-3 with a walk in Wednesday's 8-0 loss to Miami.
Smith made a fourth consecutive start as the designated hitter and is 2-for-11 with three walks and an RBI during that stretch. As to be expected, all four starts have come against right-handers. The Diamondbacks have used LuJames Groover and Ildemaro Vargas at first base during those contests. Since being activated from the 60-day injured list, Smith is batting .105 (2-for-19).

Diamondbacks' Pavin Smith: Replaces injured teammate
Smith entered Thursday's game to play first base after Ildemaro Vargas (thigh) was removed in the fifth inning. Smith went 0-for-1 in a 3-2 win over the Dodgers.
The lefty-hitting Smith would not have been the first choice as a replacement with Dodgers southpaw Justin Wrobleski still on the mound, but Jose Fernandez was already in the game as the DH. The Diamondbacks typically limit Smith's exposure to left-handers. Vargas is day-to-day and is not expected to suit up Friday against Washington lefty Foster Griffin, but it's unlikely Smith will be in the starting lineup.

Diamondbacks' Pavin Smith: Expected DH against RHPs
Smith is expected to take on the designated hitter spot most of the time against right-handers, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.
That was Smith's job Monday, when he was activated off the 60-day injured list. He was on the bench for Tuesday's game against Dodgers lefty Eric Lauer but entered as a pinch hitter against a right-handed reliever. Smith's return mostly affects Adrian Del Castillo but could also eat into Ildemaro Vargas's playing time at first base.

Diamondbacks' Pavin Smith: Ready to return from IL
The Diamondbacks reinstated Smith (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Monday.
Smith has been cleared to rejoin the Diamondbacks ahead of their seven-game homestand after he went 7-for-21 with a double and a 1:5 BB:K during a five-game minor-league rehab assignment last week. The 30-year-old played in just two contests for Arizona before landing on the IL on March 30 due to left elbow inflammation caused by bone chips, which he had removed via surgery April 16. Smith is expected to reclaim a regular spot in the Arizona lineup versus right-handed pitching, displacing either Adrian Del Castillo at designated hitter or Ildemaro Vargas at first base.

Diamondbacks' Pavin Smith: Aiming to return next week
Manager Torey Lovullo said Tuesday that Smith (elbow) could return from the injured list sometime during Arizona's series against the Dodgers next week, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.
Smith began a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Monday. Although his extended stint on the IL following elbow surgery would suggest that he's due for a lengthy stay in the minors, the Diamondbacks are seemingly trying to bring him back relatively quickly. Once activated, Smith will contend for starts against right-handers at first base and at designated hitter.

Diamondbacks' Pavin Smith: Cleared for rehab assignment
Diamondbacks general manager Mike Hazen said that Smith (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with the Arizona Complex League affiliate Monday, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.
Smith's rehab has come along slowly but surely after he had surgery in mid-April to remove loose bodies from his left elbow. He'll start off his rehab assignment in the ACL before moving up to a higher affiliate. Because he's been sidelined for so long, Smith will likely require a lengthy rehab assignment. Once the 30-year-old returns, he will be in the mix for starts against right-handed pitching between first base and designated hitter.

Smith, who began taking dry swings earlier this month, has added another baseball activity in his recovery from elbow surgery. He underwent a procedure to remove loose bodies April 16. The Diamondbacks have not yet offered an estimated timetable for Smith's return. He's currently on the 60-day injured list and eligible to return May 29.

Diamondbacks' Pavin Smith: Undergoes surgery
Smith underwent surgery to remove bone chips from his left elbow Thursday, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.

Diamondbacks' Pavin Smith: Slated for surgery
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.

Diamondbacks' Pavin Smith: Transferred to 60-day IL
The Diamondbacks transferred Smith (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.
Smith has been out for most of this season with a left elbow injury that dates back to spring training. His move to the 60-day injured list suggests he's not very far along in his recovery, and he now will not be eligible to return until late May.
