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.
