Yahoo sports writer Andy Behrens reported the news on Sunday the Atlanta Braves have placed outfielder Ender Inciarte on the 15 day disabled list that is retroactive to April 9, 2016.
Inciarte is currently recovering from a strain of his left hamstring which happened on April 8, 2016.
Smith, 22, will be making his debut in the Major Leagues this week when the Washington Nationals will be hosting their National League Division rival starting on Monday.
Smith will be sharing center field duties with Drew Stubbs until Inciarte has recovered from his left hamstring strain in the future.
The Braves have started the 2016 baseball season with a record of zero wins and five losses in their farewell season at Turner Field.
Smith does add speed to the Braves lineup which should improve their chances of winning their baseball game of the current baseball season this week.

That's a basic move. The Braves will be bad this season.

The Turner Field farewell show will go out with a whimper.

@Deepizzaguy Smith ending up cutting his head open trying to steal a base.

@ahol888 I did see on television. Maybe the Braves are battling some more curses this year.

Their farewell season at Turner Field so far has been a disaster. You are correct Adrian.
