Waldschmidt is out of the lineup for Sunday’s game against the Reds.

The Diamondbacks will keep Waldschmidt on the bench for the second time in four games while the rookie has hit a bit of a rough patch over the past few weeks. Waldschmidt has struck out at least once in each of his last 10 games and is slashing .211/.250/.316 with no home runs or stolen bases and just one run and one RBI over that stretch.

Smith is out of the lineup for Sunday’s game against the Reds.

The left-handed-hitting Smith will head to the bench for the third time in four games while the Reds send lefty Andrew Abbott to the hill. LuJames Groover will get the nod at first base Sunday in place of Smith.
