Clay Buchholz was nearly un-hittable Friday, but Smith got to him in the sixth to tie the game at 1-1. Smith has secured a role as the leadoff hitter against righties and has done well enough to keep that role even when Austin Jackson returns from the DL.

smith went 2-for-3 out of the leadoff spot Saturday and contributed a run and an RBI in the 7-2 win over Oakland.
Smith has entrenched a spot as the leadoff hitter against righties, and is a good daily option against right-handed starters any day. With that said, he is off-limits in standard leagues as he almost never sees at-bats against southpaws. After starting off the season struggling, he has slowly raised his average over the past few weeks to a modest .263.

Smith is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Angels, Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times reports.
Smith has started each of the previous six games, so it appears to just be a regular day off. Nelson Cruz will get the start in right field while Rickie Weeks will fill in as the designated hitter.
Fri May 1 201511:33Smith, hitting leadoff for second time this season, had two hits...
Smith, hitting leadoff for the second time this season, had two hits and scored a run Thursday in a loss at Houston.
Smith, usually the No. 2 hitter, could see more time atop the lineup with usual leadoff hitter Austin Jackson sporting a .283 OBP. Smith, who had a groin injury early this season, struggled most of April, but he has six hits, including a double and a home run, and three runs scored in his last four games.

Tue Apr 28 201516:09Smith out of lineup for Tuesday's game against Rangers
Smith is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers.

Wed Apr 15 201517:34Smith not in lineup Wednesday against Dodgers
Smith is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Dodgers, Eric Stephen of True Blue LA reports.

Tue Apr 14 201518:22Smith out of lineup Tuesday against Dodgers
Smith is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Dodgers, Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times reports.
No surprise here, as the Mariners are facing a lefty in David Huff and Smith figures to play almost exclusively against right-handers this season. Smith is just a .205/.291/.314 career hitter against left-handed pitching. Nelson Cruz is starting in right field again for Seattle.
