The Astros placed Smith (personal) on the restricted list Wednesday, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith has yet to report to summer camp while tending to a personal matter, and the 36-year-old is apparently still weighing whether or not he even wants to play in 2020 due to concerns about the health and safety of his family. The Astros' decision to place Smith on the restricted list is merely a means of roster management while the team waits for him to decide on his status for the season.
