Smith is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith started each of Oakland's first three games at third base, going hitless with six strikeouts across 11 at-bats. Manager Mark Kotsay will give Sheldon Neuse a look at the position Monday, and if Neuse finds some success, Smith could end up moving into more of a timeshare at the hot corner.
