Smith fired a perfect seventh inning in a loss to the Astros on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Smith got an immediate chance to face his former team after being part of an exceedingly rare intra-division, intra-series trade earlier in the day. The 37-year-old right-hander has had a forgettable season to date (7.15 ERA, 1.72 WHIP), so low-leverage assignments are likely to be the norm for him during the balance of the campaign.
