AutoDraft Pro AI

San Francisco Giants first baseman Dominic Smith departed Friday night's 5-1 walk-off victory against the Los Angeles Dodgers due to a right thigh injury. The incident occurred in the top of the fourth inning at Oracle Park when Smith suffered the injury while stretching for a throw at first base, immediately grabbing his leg. Manager Bob Melvin confirmed Smith will undergo an MRI exam on Saturday to determine the severity, noting the injury appears to be higher on his hamstring, which could be a slightly better prognosis. Smith, 30, had been batting cleanup and holds a .284 average with a .750 OPS in 63 games since signing with the Giants on June 4. Wilmer Flores replaced him at first base.
