Earns start, bags assist
Smith assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-1 win versus Atlanta United.
Analysis: Smith was only handed his 12th start of the season Saturday, playing the full 90 minutes in the center of the defense. He would have a solid performance, as he would earn an assist in the 84th minute when finding Tow Barlow. The defender is now up to two goal contributions this season, as he bagged a goal early in the season against the New York Red Bulls on April 4.
Back for Wednesday
Smith had served his one match suspension and will be an option for the clash with Miami on Wednesday.
Analysis: Smith has served his one match suspension and will be an option for the Miami game. He had started the previous three league games played, recording five starts through eight appearances, scoring once with 19 clearances and 12 tackles made.
Receives red card in win
Smith was shown a red card in the 56th minute of Saturday's 3-2 win over Chicago Fire.
Analysis: Smith got sent off after making a foul, marking the end of a quiet outing for the defender. He's now set to miss the next match against Charlotte through suspension before becoming eligible again when his side hosts Inter Miami on May 13. With Nick Hagglund and Matt Miazga back from injuries, one of them should take Smith's place in the lineup during the suspension match.
