Smith was scratched from Friday's spring game against the Red Sox due to back tightness, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 32-year-old was slated to start behind the plate and bat sixth, but he'll instead take some time to recover from the injury. It doesn't appear to be a serious issue, so Smith could return to the field relatively quickly if he avoids any further problems. Joe Odom replaced him in the lineup for Tampa Bay.
