Pavin Smith Fantasy Stats

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman/designated hitter Pavin Smith (quadriceps) is likely to miss the rest of the season, manager Torey Lovullo said. Smith went on the 10-day injured list on Aug. 28 with a strained left quadriceps, and with the D-backs' season nearing an end, it doesn't appear he'll have enough time to make it back. The 29-year-old, who also missed time earlier this season with an oblique strain, has played in 87 games and slashed .258/.362/.434 with eight homers, 28 RBI, and 36 runs scored over 288 plate appearances. Rookie Tyler Locklear, acquired from the Seattle Mariners last month in the Josh Naylor trade, has gotten the start at first base in three straight games since Smith suffered his injury.

Arizona Diamonbacks first baseman Pavin Smith (quadriceps) is likely to land on the 10-day injured list after being pulled from Wednesday's game early against the Milwaukee Brewers with tightness in his left quadriceps muscle, according to Steve Gilbert of MLB.com. Smith is heading back to Phoenix for imaging, and the D-backs will likely make a roster move when they get to Los Angeles on Friday for the start of a weekend series against the division-rival Dodgers. The 29-year-old left-handed hitter was not in the starting lineup for Thursday's series finale in Milwaukee, with Tyler Locklear making the start at the cold corner. Locklear, who was acquired from the Mariners in July in the trade that sent Josh Naylor to Seattle, should see most of the starts at first with Smith out. Smith has hit .258 (63-for-244) with eight homers, 28 RBI and 36 runs scored for the Snakes in 2025.

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman/designated hitter Pavin Smith (quadriceps) is out of the lineup on Thursday against Milwaukee Brewers left-hander Jose Quintana. Tyler Locklear will play first base and hit seventh, while Ildemaro Vargas will DH and bat ninth. It's no surprise that Smith is sitting after he departed the Diamondbacks' 3-2 win over the Brewers on Wednesday with tightness in his left quadriceps. Furthermore, Smith has only gone 3-for-18 with no extra-base hits or RBI against lefties this year, so he may not have played Thursday even if fully healthy. It's unclear if Smith will be ready to return on Friday when the Diamondbacks are scheduled to face another southpaw, the Los Angeles Dodgers' Blake Snell.

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman/designated hitter Pavin Smith (quadriceps) exited a 3-2 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday with tightness in his left quadriceps. Smith went 2-for-3 with two singles and a strikeout before the Diamondbacks subbed in Tyler Locklear to pinch run for him in the top of the seventh inning. It was just Smith's eighth game back since he missed about a month and a half with a strained right oblique. The 29-year-old has played in 87 games this season and slashed .258/.362/.434 with eight homers, 28 RBI, and 36 runs scored in 288 plate appearances. If Smith has to miss more time, Locklear would likely step in at first base.

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Pavin Smith (oblique) was activated off the 10-day injured list ahead of Monday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. Smith is back in the mix after being sidelined since early July due to a right oblique strain. Before going down, Smith was slashing .261/.371/.446 with eight home runs and 28 RBI across 79 games. On Monday, Smith will cover first base and bat fifth versus right-hander Gavin Williams. It's unclear how much playing time Smith is going to see down the stretch with the D-Backs likely headed towards a rebuild. Smith is probably only worth a look in deep leagues.

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman/outfielder Pavin Smith (oblique) has been playing in camp games at the team's training facility. He appears to be doing well and is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment on Tuesday. Smith has been sidelined since early July due to a right oblique strain. Barring any setbacks, Smith should be able to rejoin the D-Backs roster by late August. It's unclear what kind of role Smith will have with the D-Backs rebuilding right now. He's not someone that needs to be rostered in fantasy formats at the moment.

After the Arizona Diamondbacks traded first baseman Josh Naylor to the Seattle Mariners on Thursday, the D-backs will likely turn to Pavin Smith (oblique) as their everyday starter at first base going forward, even though he's currently on the injured list with a strained right oblique, according to MLB.com's Manny Randhawa. The 29-year-old lefty hitter recently resumed taking dry swings, but it's unclear when he'll begin a minor-league rehab assignment or when he'll return to the big-league roster with added playing time. And when Smith does return to Arizona, he might only be starting at first base when the team faces right-handed pitchers. The former seventh overall pick in 2017 out of Virginia has hit .261/.371/.446 with an .817 OPS, eight homers, 28 RBI and 33 runs in 222 at-bats, but he has just 17 at-bats against southpaws in 2025.

Arizona Diamondbacks designated hitter/first baseman Pavin Smith (oblique) has begun taking dry swings as he works back from a strained right oblique. The Diamondbacks still don't have a timetable to return for Smith, who landed on the 10-day injured list on July 6. Playing almost exclusively against right-handed pitchers, the lefty-swinging Smith has hit .261/.371/.446 with eight home runs, 28 RBI, and 33 runs scored in 264 plate appearances this season. Smith has mostly functioned as a DH, where the Diamondbacks have rotated players during his absence. Catcher Adrian Del Castillo has started three straight games there since the team recalled him from Triple-A Reno.

The Arizona Diamondbacks announced that they have placed designated hitter/first baseman Pavin Smith (oblique) on the 10-day injured list with a strained right oblique. The club selected the contract of infielder Tristin English from Triple-A Reno and placed left-hander Tommy Henry (elbow) on the 60-day IL in corresponding moves. Smith owned a sizzling .342/.473/.630 line through April, but his numbers have fallen off dramatically since then. While the 29-year-old is still hitting a productive .261/.371/.446 in 264 plate appearances, he carries modest counting stats (eight home runs, 28 RBI, and 33 runs scored) and has taken just 17 at-bats against left-handed pitchers. With Smith unavailable, the Diamondbacks are starting Randal Grichuk at DH on Sunday against Kansas City Royals right-hander Michael Lorenzen.

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Pavin Smith went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI in his team's 10-0 win against the hosting Chicago White Sox. He also drew a walk and struck out. The Virginia alum's seventh and eighth long balls of the season were a three-run bomb and a solo shot, respectively, as the D-Backs routed the White Sox on their home turf. Smith was hitting well earlier in the season, but he's had a woeful June with a .190 average (8-for-42). Still, four of his eight hits have left the yard to give him an .840 OPS. The 29-year-old was due for some regression (.217 xBA), and it's hit him hard over the last month or so.
