    • Remains out Saturday
      Smith (undisclosed) is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Mariners, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

      Advice: Smith will miss a second straight game as he nurses "general tightness." Ezequiel Duran will draw the start at third base while Robbie Grossman enters the lineup at designated hitter and bats seventh against Seattle. Rotowire.com Today, 1:35 pm

    • Experiencing general tightness
      Smith was not in the starting lineup Friday due to what manager Bruce Bochy referred to as "general tightness," Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: It's the same condition that led to Smith being held out of Tuesday's starting lineup. He eventually entered Friday's game as a pinch hitter, popping out in the ninth inning. With Corey Seager not playing the field yet as he battles a hamstring issue, Ezequiel Duran started at shortstop. Rotowire.com Today, 6:04 am

    • Sitting Friday
      Smith is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Mariners.

      Advice: Smith will begin Friday's series opener in the dugout after starting in the last two games, going 4-for-7. He's been one of the Rangers' hottest hitters in June, slashing .368/.429/.526 with seven runs, one home run and two RBI. Ezequiel Duran and Davis Wendzel will start at shortstop and third base, respectively, against Mariners right-hander Luis Castillo. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:06 pm

    • Takes live BP
      Jung (wrist) took live batting practice Thursday, Kenndi Landry of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: The third baseman saw pitches from Tyler Mahle (elbow) as they both continue their rehabs. The next step for Jung is a trip to Triple-A Round Rock to continue live BP before he officially begins a rehab assignment, and he remains on track to return before the end of the month.

    • Stays at shortstop
      Smith started at shortstop and went 2-for-3 with a double and a run scored in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Dodgers.

      Advice: Smith made another start at shortstop, as the Rangers are being careful with Corey Seager (hamstring). Seager had returned to action Wednesday, serving as the DH, and was originally in Thursday's starting lineup at DH before being scratched. Smith continued to be a surprising contributor for the Rangers; he's gone 19-for-53 (.358) with six extra-base hits, two steals, four RBI and 10 runs scored over the last 15 games.

    • Josh Jung (wrist) heads out on rehab assignment
      Josh Jung (wrist) will begin a minor league rehab assignment at Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday.

      Advice: Jung spent the morning with the Rangers, where he took live batting practice off of rehabbing right-hander Tyler Mahle, before packing up and heading off to his rehab assignment. Expect the 26-year-old slugger to remain there through the weekend before potentially rejoining the Rangers next week. Rotoworld Wednesday, 4:06 pm

    • Josh Jung (wrist) getting close to rehab games
      Josh Jung (wrist) will take at-bats in a live batting practice session on Wednesday.

      Advice: The hope is that Jung will be ready to get into minor league rehab contests at some point in the near future after progressing to taking batting practice last weekend. The 26-year-old slugger has been brought along slowly since early-April surgery on his right wrist, but should return before the end of the month. Rotoworld Tuesday, 6:27 pm

    • On bench against lefty
      Smith is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.

      Advice: Smith has a .912 OPS through eight games in June but will take a seat Tuesday with southpaw James Paxton on the mound for Los Angeles. Davis Wendzel will receive a start at the hot corner and bat eighth. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 4:04 pm

    • Returns to lineup
      Chapman (hamstring) is back in the Giants' lineup versus the Astros on Tuesday.

      Advice: Chapman suffered a hamstring injury in Saturday's game versus the Rangers and missed the two following games because of it. With the third baseman no longer sidelined, Casey Schmitt will head back to the bench. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 3:34 pm
