Smith is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Yankees.

Joey Meneses is playing first base and Keibert Ruiz will take a turn as the Nationals' designated hitter with left-hander Carlos Rodon set to toe the slab for New York. Riley Adams is doing the catching. Smith, 28, has slashed just .246/.307/.268 in 150 plate appearances this year versus southpaws.
