Giants' Dominic Smith: Hitting bench in Flores' return
Rotowire
Smith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.
Smith had started at first base or designated hitter in seven of the previous nine games, but he'll see a downturn in playing time with Wilmer Flores (hamstring) making his return to the starting nine Sunday. The Giants are likely to lean on a combination of Rafael Devers and Flores at first base and designated hitter more often than not, though Smith could replace Flores against some right-handed pitchers.

Giants' Dominic Smith: Taking seat Wednesday
Rotowire
Smith is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Wilmer Flores (hamstring) is still nursing an injury and will remain on the bench for a fifth straight game, but because the Pirates are sending a lefty (Andrew Heaney) to the hill, the left-handed-hitting Smith will exit the starting nine. Smith had been included in the lineup in each of the past four games as a replacement for Flores, going 4-for-18 with a home run, five RBI and three runs.

Giants' Dominic Smith: Taking seat against righty
Rotowire
Smith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.
Though he'll head to the bench Sunday while the right-handed Yoshinobu Yamamoto takes the hill for the Dodgers, the left-handed-hitting Smith appears to be the Giants' preferred option at first base over Wilmer Flores, who re-enters the lineup for the series finale. Smith had started in each of the Giants' previous five matchups with righties, while Flores was held out of the lineup for all of those games. The two are likely to continue forming a loose platoon at the position until designated hitter Rafael Devers is deemed ready to make his debut as a first baseman.

Giants' Dominic Smith: Losing work to Flores
Rotowire
Smith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.
After Rafael Devers made his Giants debut June 17, Smith remained in the lineup at first base for San Francisco's ensuing two matchups against right-handed pitchers. Since then however, Smith appears to have faded into a part-time role in favor of Wilmer Flores, who was displaced at DH by Devers. Smith is on the bench Sunday for the fifth time in the Giants' last eight matchups with a righty.

Rotowire
Smith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.
The left-handed-hitting Smith will take a seat against a right-handed pitcher (Lucas Giolito) for the second time in the series. Smith has produced an .801 OPS in 16 games since joining the Giants earlier this month, but he could nonetheless have to settle for a part-time role at first base against right-handed pitching with the acquisition of Rafael Devers having displaced Wilmer Flores from the designated-hitter spot.

Rotowire
The Giants signed Smith to a one-year contract Wednesday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Smith opted out of his minor-league contract with the Yankees recently and has managed to land in a good situation in San Francisco.
