Overview

  • Smith was hurt stretching for a throw from Matt Chapman on an inning-ending play that was upheld on replay.
  • Manager Bob Melvin described the injury as a moderate strain located higher on the hamstring, with follow-up evaluation planned.
  • Wilmer Flores replaced Smith during the game, and first base is set to be handled primarily by Rafael Devers with Flores or Casey Schmitt also available.
  • The Giants activated Jerar Encarnacion to fill the roster spot and started him in right field on Saturday.
  • Since signing in June, Smith has hit .284 with a .750 OPS, and his absence comes as San Francisco sits a half-game back of the final NL wild card.
