Diamondbacks' Pavin Smith Placed on 10-Day Injured List with Right Oblique Strain

News summary

The Arizona Diamondbacks have placed infielder and designated hitter Pavin Smith on the 10-day injured list due to a strained right oblique. Smith likely sustained the injury during a game against the Kansas City Royals, where he was replaced by a pinch hitter in the sixth inning after going 0-for-1 with two walks and two runs. The 29-year-old, currently hitting .261 with eight homers and 28 RBIs in 79 games, will be eligible for reinstatement after the All-Star break, though a longer absence is possible given the injury. In response, the Diamondbacks recalled infielder Tristan English from Triple-A Reno and made additional roster moves, including placing left-hander Tommy Henry on the 60-day injured list with an elbow injury. With Smith sidelined, Randal Grichuk has taken over as the designated hitter in recent games. Smith's performance had started strong with a .342/.473/.630 line in April before declining in the subsequent months.
