Josh Smith Dealing With Lower-Body Soreness
5 months agoTexas Rangers infielder Josh Smith (lower body) missed his second straight game due to lower-body soreness/tightness. The 26-year-old is considered day-to-day. His next chance to return will be Sunday's series finale against the Seattle Mariners. Smith has filled in admirably at the hot corner with Josh Jung (wrist) on the injured list. He is slashing .294/.382/.436 with four home runs, 24 RBI, 33 runs, and four stolen bases over 242 plate appearances in 2024. Ezequiel Duran drew the start at third base instead of Smith for both games. Duran is slashing .264/.304/.338 with two home runs, 13 RBI, 11 runs, and a stolen base over 50 games in 2024.
