Hits first big-league homer Smith went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI, one walk and one stolen base in Friday's 14-3 win over the Angels.
Impact Smith's starting to figure things out in the majors -- this was his second multi-hit effort in a row. He's also driven in five runs over his last three games, and he supplied some insurance runs with an eighth-inning homer Friday. The 22-year-old is batting .241 (7-for-29) with a 3:10 BB:K across his first nine major-league contests. He's getting a chance to play a starting role in right field after being acquired by the Astros in their trade with the Cubs that sent Kyle Tucker to Chicago in the offseason. Smith was drafted 14th overall in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft and has skipped Triple-A to begin 2025 in the majors after logging just 32 minor-league contests over three levels in the second half of last year.

Strikeouts piling up Smith went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts Saturday against the Twins.
Impact Smith has served as Houston's primary right fielder after an eye-catching spring training. His results haven't carried over into the regular season, however, as he is hitting only .111 across 21 plate appearances while also striking out nine times. If he continues to struggle to make consistent contact, Smith will likely lose playing time and potentially be in danger of a demotion to Triple-A Sugar Land.

First-career hit Opening Day Smith went 1-for-3 with a single during Thursday's 3-1 win over the Mets.
Impact The 22-year-old Smith earned a spot on the Astros' Opening Day roster after a strong spring and started in right field Thursday. Getting the start in right field and batting seventh, he wasted no time registering the first hit of his MLB major-league career, swinging on the first pitch seen from Clay Holmes which made its way into right field. Smith is slated for an everyday role in right field, a tall task to fill for a position that was held by Kyle Tucker for the past seven seasons.

Called up, starting in opener The Astros selected Smith's contract, and he'll start in right field and bat seventh in Thursday's season opener versus the Mets, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Smith will bypass the Triple-A level after hitting his way on the Opening Day roster with a .342/.419/.711 slash line to go with four home runs over 15 games during the Grapefruit League. The 22-year-old will have big shoes to fill as he steps into the everyday role in right field that used to belong to three-time All-Star Kyle Tucker, whom the Astros traded to the Cubs this winter in the deal that sent Smith to Houston.
