Smith expects to be placed on the disabled list with the oblique strain he suffered Wednesday, Mike DiGiovanna of the LA Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Angels have not yet unveiled a timeline for Street's recovery from his oblique injury, but if he lands on the disabled list, he would miss at least two weeks, and potentially more time on top of that. With Street looking at a multi-week absence, Joe Smith is primed to be the Angels' closer until at least sometime in mid-April.
