Smith went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run in a loss to the Rangers on Monday. He also was caught stealing on his only attempt.
EDGE Analysis
Smith brought his average back up over .300 with Monday's outing, which also served as his fourth multi-hit effort over the last nine games. The 25-year-old has also added another six steals to his tally during September, giving him 33 for the campaign. Coupled with his 33 extra-base hits (24 doubles, nine triples), Smith has been a breakout fantasy star in all formats.

Smith (infection) rejoined the Rays in Cleveland and is likely to be activated off the 10-day disabled list Monday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith was expected to play a couple minor-league rehab games at High-A Charlotte, but instead returned to the team after playing in a single game Saturday. A Monday activation would mean the 25-year-old spent the 10-day minimum on the DL as he was hospitalized with a viral infection.

Smith (infection) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment at High-A Charlotte on Saturday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith was released from the hospital last Sunday after dealing with a serious viral infection, but doesn't look as though he'll miss much more time. Manager Kevin Cash previously indicated the 25-year-old could return to the Rays against the Orioles on Sept. 7, which lines up well with his rehab stint for the StoneCrabs.
