Pavin Smith cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Reno.

EDGE Analysis

Smith will remain in the Diamondbacks organization.

Smith was designated for assignment by the Diamondbacks on Thursday, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After going 0-for-4 with a strikeout on Wednesday, Smith was designated for assignment by Arizona. The 30-year-old has slashed just .141/.236/.192 with one homer and six RBI in 89 appearances this campaign. Smith had slowly been losing time at first base to Ildemaro Vargas and Tim Tawa. The Diamondbacks recalled Ryan Waldschmidt from Triple-A Reno to replace Smith on the active roster.

Smith isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against San Diego.

EDGE Analysis

Smith will retreat to the bench to begin Thursday's series finale after going 0-for-8 through the first three games, which has dropped his OPS down to .428 for the season. Tim Tawa will pick up a start at first base and bat ninth while Smith sits.

Smith is not in the lineup for Monday's game in San Diego.

EDGE Analysis

It's right-hander Walker Buehler on the mound for the Padres, but the left-handed-hitting Smith will nonetheless begin the contest on the bench. Smith -- who is slashing an ugly .157/.259/.214 in 25 games this season -- will yield first base to Ildemaro Vargas.

Smith was held out of the starting lineup Saturday against Milwaukee right-hander Brandon Woodruff.

EDGE Analysis

Smith is typically a lineup staple against righties, but Ildemaro Vargas got the start at first base Saturday. Smith is a career 1-for-11 against Woodruff, but the decision to sit him may have been more about a current slump. Smith is batting just .152 since coming off the injured list in late May and entered Saturday with two hits over his last 27 at-bats (.074).

Smith went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Smith's run-scoring single was the first salvo in Arizona's attempted comeback in the bottom of the eighth inning, when the club scored its four runs. Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo continues to show patience with the slumping first baseman, who entered the game on a 1-for-23 (.043) skid, by running him out there when the team faces right-handers. Smith is slashing .152/.260/.212 with one home run and six RBI since coming off a lengthy stay on the injured list in late May.

Smith batted eighth and went 0-for-4 in Friday's 6-1 loss to Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

Smith extended a hitless run to 14 at-bats and hasn't got the bat working since coming off the injured list in late May. He's batting just .154 (8-for-52) with one home run and five RBI while mostly batting fifth in the order.

Smith is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

The left-handed-hitting Smith will head to the bench while the Cardinals send southpaw Matthew Liberatore to the bump Wednesday. Smith had started in each of Arizona's last four games, going 2-for-14 with two walks and an RBI.

Smith is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

With the Angels sending a lefty starter (Sam Aldegheri) to the hill for the second straight day, the left-handed-hitting Smith will once again head to the bench. LuJames Groover will get the nod at first base in place of Smith.

Smith went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-3 win over the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Smith launched a solo home run in the seventh inning off the foul pole in right field to give Arizona a 3-2 lead. It was the first home run he's hit in 357 days. Smith has struggled since coming off the injured list and entered Monday's contest batting .087 (2-for-23) over 11 games since his return. Despite the grind, manager Torey Lovullo still plans to give him opportunities at first base or designated hitter when the Diamondbacks face right-handers.
