"Smith landed on the 10-day injured list with a right hamstring strain prior to Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers, leaving San Francisco without its best defensive first baseman for at least the next week-and-a-half. With 15 games remaining, Smith may not have enough time to rehab the injury and return for the end of the regular season. In a corresponding move, infielder/outfielder Jerar Encarnacion was reinstated from the 10-day injured list after he dealt with his own right hamstring strain."
"Smith, 30, injured himself in the top of the fourth on Friday. With runners on second and third, third baseman Matt Chapman made a diving stop of Andy Pages' grounder and fired to Smith, who inadvertently did the splits. Smith's extended lunge was needed as Chapman's throw barely beat Pages' speed, but Smith instantly collapsed onto his side. As the Dodgers challenged the call, Melvin and assistant athletic trainer Ryo Watanabe met Smith near first base to assess Smith's health."
Dominic Smith suffered a right hamstring strain and was placed on the 10-day injured list before the Giants' game against the Dodgers. The injury occurred during a play in which Smith extended into the splits to receive Matt Chapman's throw and collapsed onto his side. With 15 games remaining, the timeline to rehab and return is uncertain. Jerar Encarnacion was reinstated from the 10-day injured list after recovering from his own right hamstring strain. Smith has produced a .284/.333/.417 slash line over 63 games with five home runs and 33 RBIs since joining the team in early June.
