ST. PETERSBURG -- Mallex Smith appears to be recovering quickly from the viral infection that placed him on the 10-day disabled list.
"I believe he'll be getting discharged today," Rays manager Kevin Cash said prior to Sunday's series finale vs. the Red Sox. "That's the update I got today. ... He's doing considerably better. His family's with him. It's good news to hear that he's getting out."
Cash said on Saturday that Smith had a "long road back." When asked to re-visit his comment on Sunday, Cash said he meant that Smith would be out for the length of his 10-day stint on the DL.
