Lifts seventh homer
Smith went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-2 extra-inning loss to the Angels.
Analysis
Smith had gone 10 games without a homer before lifting a solo shot off Chase Silseth in the eighth inning to tie the game at 2-2. During that power drought, Smith still had three extra-base hits and four RBI. The outfielder has endured a bit of a sophomore slump in 2026, batting .220 with a .675 OPS, seven homers, 26 RBI, 27 runs scored and eight stolen bases over 69 contests. While his numbers aren't particularly impressive, he continues to handle a starting role in right field.

Analysis
Smith will get a chance to regroup Saturday after going hitless in four of his last five games. While he sits, LaMonte Wade, Jake Meyers and Taylor Trammell will form the Astros' outfield trio.
