Smoak went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and three RBI in Monday's 4-2 win over the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Smoak got the Brewers out to a 1-0 lead in the first with a single that drove in Christian Yelich. He later extended Milwaukee's lead with a two-run homer in the third. After getting off to a slow start to start the campaign, the switch-hitter is showing signs of getting on the right track, belting a pair of homers among four hits in the last two games.

Smoak isn't in the lineup Saturday against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Smoak was in the starting lineup for the past nine games, but he's struggled recently as he's gone just 2-for-18 with a home run, one double and one RBI over his last five contests. He'll get a day off Saturday with Jedd Gyorko starting at first base.

Smoak went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an RBI double in Thursday's loss to Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Smoak broke up Yu Darvish's no-hit bid with a solo homer to right field in the seventh inning, then knocked in Milwaukee's other run with a run-scoring double in the ninth. The long ball was his first since July 25 and second overall on the season. Smoak has been showing signs of emerging from his recent slump, notching three multi-hit performances in his last four games and going 7-for-17 in that stretch.

Smoak is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
The return of Ryan Braun (finger) from the injured list will likely have an effect on Smoak's playing time, though in this case, it will be Jedd Gyorko starting at first base, with Braun serving as the designated hitter. Smoak's .483 OPS through 52 plate appearances hardly makes a great case for him having an everyday role.

Smoak went 3-for-5 with a double, a run and two RBI in Sunday's victory over the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Smoak picked up just one total hit over the last seven games he appeared in, but he notched a season-high three base knocks Sunday and recorded multiple RBI in a game for the first time as a Brewer. The switch-hitting Smoak owns a .614 OPS in 36 PA against right-handers to date, but just a .258 OPS over 12 PA against southpaws.

Smoak is not in the lineup Saturday against Cincinnati.
EDGE Analysis
Smoak sits for just the second time in the Brewers' first 12 games, though his .128/.186/.231 slash line could send him to the bench more often going forward. Logan Morrison takes over at first base in his absence.

Smoak is not in the lineup Wednesday against the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Smoak began the season on a high note but has gone just 1-for-15 with two runs, one walk and seven strikeouts over the past four games. Ryon Healy will start at first base and lead off in Smoak's absence.

Smoak went 2-for-5 with a solo home run during Saturday's 8-3 win over the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
The 33-year-old struggled (0-for-3 with two strikeouts) like most of the Brewers' lineup in the season opener against Kyle Hendricks, but he collected two hits Saturday, including a towering homer to right field during the fifth inning. Smoak is poised to see significant time at first base for the Brewers this season, and he's hit out of the cleanup spot in the first two games.
