New York Mets first baseman/outfielder will get his first start of the season Saturday against the Washington Nationals, according to MLB.com. He will play first base and bat sixth. Smith appeared in last night's game as a pinch hitter, striking out in his only at-bat. Last season, the 26-year-old had a difficult time at the plate, slashing .244/.304/.363 with 11 HRs over 145 games, a season after he managed a .993 OPS. However, it was later revealed that Smith dealt with a torn labrum, so he'll look to bounce back with a healthy campaign. As it stands, he won't play every day but should still see plenty of playing time, especially against left-handers, whom he hit .312 against in 2021.--Spencer Seguin
