    • Dealing with glute tightness
      Smith is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Rays due to glute tightness, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

      Advice: It's the same injury that kept Smith off the field for four games in June, and the hope this time around is that the injury will keep him out of the lineup for just one or two games. Since June 1, the 26-year-old infielder is slashing .319/.407/.511 with four home runs, 12 RBI and an .918 OPS over 94 at-bats. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:11 pm

    • Tigers option Akil Baddoo back to Triple-A Toledo
      Tigers optioned OF Akil Baddoo to Triple-A Toledo.

      Advice: With Parker Meadows rejoining the team on Friday, someone needed to go to make room in the outfield and Baddoo drew the short straw this time around. The 25-year-old outfielder hit just .132/.242/.340 with two homers, four RBI and one stolen base during his stay with the big-league club. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:10 pm
       
    • Optioned to Triple-A
      The Tigers optioned Baddoo to Triple-A Toledo on Friday.

      Advice: Baddoo has played sparingly lately and produced just a .582 OPS with the big club this season. He's clearing out to make room on the roster for Parker Meadows. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:58 pm
       
    • Josh Smith absent from Rangers lineup on Friday
      Josh Smith was held out of Rangers’ starting lineup for Friday night’s matchup against the Rays due to glute tightness.

      Advice: It’s the same issue that sidelined Smith for a couple of games in June, but he’s hopeful that he won’t need to miss more than a day or two this time around. The versatile 26-year-old has been a key cog in the Rangers’ lineup this season, hitting .293/.386/.451 with seven homers, 34 RBI and four stolen bases over 308 plate appearances in his 83 games. Jonathan Ornelas will draw a start at third base in his stead and will bat ninth against Shane Baz and the Rays on Friday night. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:17 pm

    • Taking seat Friday
      Smith is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Tampa Bay.

      Advice: Smith will get a rare day off after making 13 consecutive starts. Jonathan Ornelas will bat ninth and play third base for Friday's series opener. Over his last four games, Smith is 6-for-16 with two runs and two RBI. Per Kennedi Landry of MLB.com, manager Bruce Bochy indicated that Smith felt a bit of discomfort after his last plate appearance Thursday night but didn't offer any specifics on Smith's health.

    • Swats 12th homer Thursday
      Profar went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run in Thursday's 3-1 win against Texas.

      Advice: Profar powered the Padres to a 2-0 lead with his his solo blast to right field in the sixth inning. The recently anointed All-Star continues to be productive, gathering at least one hit in 15 of his past 16 contests and slashing .295/.348/.443 with two homers, 11 RBI, 11 runs and a stolen base over that span. Profar ranks third among qualified hitters with a .317 batting average on the season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:29 am
       
    • Snaps slump with three hits
      Verdugo went 3-for-4 with two doubles in Thursday's loss to Cincinnati.

      Advice: Verdugo entered Thursday in the throes of a 12-game slump during which he went 6-for-47 (.128 average). The outfielder showed positive signs of getting back on track against the Reds, not only collecting three knocks but also producing two extra-base hits -- as many as he had tallied during that entire 12-game downturn. While Verdugo is on pace to set a career high in homers and RBI this season (he has nine long balls and 43 runs batted in through 85 games), his .248 batting average and .305 OBP are both on pace for his lowest marks since his 15-game cup of coffee with the Dodgers in 2017.

    • Singles, scores in win
      Andujar went 1-for-4 with an RBI single and a run in a win over the Angels on Thursday.

      Advice: Andujar's third-inning single plated Brett Harris with the Athletics' first run of the afternoon. The timely knock marked the eighth time in the last 10 games Andujar has reached safely, helping keep his average at an impressive .293 despite some cooling off following a blistering start to the season. The veteran has flashed average pop -- only nine of his 41 hits have gone for extra bases -- but his modest 14.3 percent strikeout rate continues to give him plenty of opportunities to have the ball drop in.

    • Moves to leadoff
      Smith batted leadoff and went 2-for-4 in Thursday's 3-1 loss to San Diego.

      Advice: Smith was moved up to leadoff, as a slumping Marcus Semien was given a rare day off. Smith continues to be a surprise and leads the Rangers with a 2.7 WAR. He should continue to see regular work at third base with Josh Jung (wrist) not expected to return until after the All-Star break. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:22 am
