Smoak is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Smoak will cede first base to the recently recalled Rowdy Tellez in the series finale, and it's unclear if there will be room for both players in the lineup on an everyday basis. Per Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca, manager Charlie Montoyo said Tuesday that Tellez "will get a lot of playing time" following his promotion, which may leave Smoak and Brandon Drury to contend for the remaining spot in the starting nine in most games. Though he's largely struggled in the second half, Smoak has helped his cause by showing slightly better form at plate of late, tallying seven hits -- including a home run and two doubles -- in 26 at-bats over the past seven games.

Smoak went 3-for-5 with two doubles, a home run, two runs scored and four RBI in Monday's win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

The first baseman hadn't gone deep since July 28, hitting just .105 (4-for-38) with zero extra-base hits in 11 games during that power outage, but Smoak broke out in a big way as part of a 19-run eruption from the Jays offense. On the season, he's now slashing .211/.351/.413 with 19 homers and 52 RBI.

Smoak is starting at DH and hitting cleanup Monday against the Rangers, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Freddy Galvis out of the picture -- he was claimed off waivers by the Reds on Monday -- Smoak could start to see more time at designated hitter moving forward, as Cavan Biggio and Brandon Drury will likely cover second and first base more often, respectively. The veteran slugger has failed to get things going in the second half, as he's hitting just .169 with four home runs and a .642 OPS in 25 games since the All-Star break.

Smoak is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Smoak is 2-for-25 over his last seven games and will head to the bench Friday with lefty J.A. Happ taking the mound for the Yankees. Brandon Drury will start at first base Friday in his stead.

Smoak is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

While the Blue Jays' youth movement has hit full gear, Smoak still started six straight games prior to this contest. He is hitting .174/.329/.362 with four home runs and a 22:16 K:BB in 69 at-bats since the All-Star break. Brandon Drury is starting at first base, hitting eighth.

EDGE Analysis

Smoak has hit just .192 over his last nine games but has enough walks and homers over that stretch to own a strong .938 OPS. He'll sit in favor of Brandon Drury on Tuesday.

Smoak is not in Saturday's lineup against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Smoak is hitting .257/.381/.543 with three home runs over his last 10 games. Brandon Drury will start at first base, hitting eighth.

Smoak went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and two RBI in a 2-1 victory against the Indians on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran first baseman tied the contest with a solo homer in the bottom of the ninth, and then he hit a walk-off single during the 10th. Smoak is only hitting .218, but he does have 17 home runs, 44 RBI and 39 runs in 280 at-bats this season. He should reach the 25-homer mark for the third straight year.

Smoak went 1-for-2 with a walk and a solo home run in Monday's 7-3 loss to Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

The second-inning long ball was only Smoak's second in July, and his 16th of the year. The veteran first baseman continues to get on base at a solid clip, but his overall .215/.354/.418 slash line limits his fantasy appeal in most formats.
