NEW YORK -- Mets outfielder Dominic Smith has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a stress reaction in his left foot.

Smith wore a walking boot Saturday in New York's clubhouse and is scheduled for a CT scan Monday. He is batting .278 with 10 homers, 22 RBI and an .858 OPS in 88 games this season, his third in the majors.

A natural first baseman, Smith has been starting in left field against right-handers to get his bat in the lineup despite his defensive shortcomings in the outfield. He is blocked at first base by Mets rookie slugger Pete Alonso.
