Smith is not in the lineup Thursday versus the Red Sox.

Joey Meneses will play first base and Keibert Ruiz will take a turn as the Nationals' designated hitter with left-hander Chris Sale toeing the slab for Boston. Riley Adams is catching. Smith has posted a rough .587 OPS in 147 plate appearances against lefties this year.
