Pavin Smith Injured List Update | Diamondbacks | Daily Injury

2025-08-28 — 4 min read

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman/designated hitter Pavin Smith has been placed on the 10-day injured list with left quadriceps tightness. He exited Wednesday’s game after experiencing discomfort in the seventh inning.

Injury Details

Smith felt tightness in his left quad during the game and was pulled for evaluation. The team is conducting further medical tests back in Phoenix.

Impact on Diamondbacks

Smith, bat in hand, has been a solid contributor (.258 AVG, 8 HRs, 28 RBIs over 87 games), and his absence opens a path for a bench player or call-up to take at-bats.

Recovery Outlook

Expect Smith to miss at least 10 days, with return timeline depending on how quickly the quad responds to rest and rehab.

Losing Smith during a playoff push could affect Arizona’s offensive balance. His return will be important for depth and run production.
