Smith was 0-for-4 in a 5-0 loss to the Angels on Tuesday night.
Recommendation: Smith has not been swinging a bad bat lately, he was riding a four-game hitting streak coming into the game. The Angels C.J. Wilson only allowed one hit against the A's on Tuesday, so Smith wasn't the only one hitless. That said, Smith's playing time could soon decline with Coco Crisp back from injury and Yoenis Cespedes potentially returning this weekend. Further, Manny Ramirez is eligible to return from suspension May 30 and will likely take over DH duties.

Smith had two doubles in the A's 5-0 victory over the Angels on Monday night.
Advice: Smith is 8 for 17 over his last five contests.
