According to Evan Woodbery of MLive.com, Smith could lose his place on the big-league roster with Sawyer Gipson-Long making his return from elbow surgery Wednesday against the White Sox.

The right-hander has transitioned from the rotation to the bullpen this season, and he's pitched well as a reliever between the Double-A and Triple-A levels with a 1.61 ERA and 32:8 K:BB over 22.1 innings.
