Mariners' Seth Smith: In Thursday's lineup

Smith (foot) is in the lineup for Thursday's game against the A's, Bob Dutton of the Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Analysis:

His night ended prematurely Wednesday after Smith was hit on the foot by a pitch, but evidently it was a very minor setback as Smith will return to right field and the two-hole to face Kendall Graveman. It's a small sample (15 at-bats), but Smith is batting over .500 in his career against Graveman.
