UPDATE: Smith was scratched due to right hand soreness.

Will Smith was slated to start Wednesday’s game against the Colorado Rockies and bat third in the lineup. Unfortunately, he was scratched at the last minute and has been replaced by Ben Rortvedt.

The new lineup will be:

There has been no reason as to why Smith was scratched at the last minute. Smith did miss five games due to a right hand contusion last week but returned on Tuesday and went 1-for-4 with a double and run scored.

Rortvedt has appeared in 31 games this season and racked up 83 plate appearances, contributing five runs and six RBI. The walk rate is 9.6%, strikeout rate is 20.5% but the ISO is a microscopic .014. Smith has a .202 ISO, 14.7% walk rate, 20.4% strikeout rate and has 17 home runs, 64 runs, 61 RBI and two stolen bases in 436 plate appearances this season.

Stay tuned for live updates on Smith’s injury.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
