    • Josh Smith returns to lineup Tuesday vs. Mets
      Josh Smith is back in the lineup for Tuesday’s contest against the Mets.

      Advice: Smith is back at designated hitter for Tuesday’s contest against the Mets after missing four straight games due to general soreness. It could be a few additional days before he’s ready to get back onto the field defensively, but it’s an encouraging development that the Rangers are able to get his bat back into the lineup. The 26-year-old infielder has been excellent this year, batting .294/.384/.436 with four homers and four steals across 243 plate appearances. Rotoworld Today, 1:05 pm

    • Back in lineup
      Smith (hamstring) is batting third as the designated hitter Tuesday against the Mets.

      Advice: Smith missed four straight games with tightness in his upper hamstring but will rejoin the lineup Tuesday. While he's healthy enough to play, the Rangers are opting to ease Smith into action in a non-defensive capacity, giving him his first start at DH this season. Rotowire.com Today, 1:04 pm

    • Tyler Freeman out of lineup Tuesday vs. Mariners
      Tyler Freeman is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday’s tilt against the Mariners.

      Advice: It appears to just be a day off for Freeman. The Guardians instead will give a start to Daniel Schneemann in center field, and he’ll hit eighth against Bryce Miller and the Mariners in the opening game of the three-game set. Rotoworld Today, 11:54 am

    • Sitting again, viewed as day-to-day
      Smith is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets while he continues to recover from what he described as "lower glute/upper hamstring" tightness, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Rangers manager Bruce Bochy had previously said that Smith was dealing with general tightness, but the 26-year-old provided more specifics about the nature of his injury. Though Smith is on the bench Monday for a fourth straight game, he said he's improving every day and expects to rejoin the lineup within the next few days. Ezequiel Duran will spell Smith at third base Monday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:33 pm

    • Begins rehab assignment
      Jung (wrist) started at third base and went 2-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored for Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday.

      Advice: Jung kicked off a rehab assignment for the Express and played five innings in the field. Texas manager Bruce Bochy previously targeted Jung for 30 at-bats before returning to the major leagues, but the manager acknowledged Sunday to Kennedi Landry of MLB.com that it's a fluid situation. "We'll kind of monitor how things are going with him, the at-bats, how his body is bouncing back," Bochy said. "But we don't have a specific number." Jung fractured his wrist on April 1 and underwent surgery the following day, leading to his stay on the 60-day injured list. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:10 am

    • Remains out Sunday
      Smith (undisclosed) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

      Advice: Smith is on the bench for a third straight game due to an injury that manager Bruce Bochy has termed as "general tightness." Ezequiel Duran will get a second consecutive start at third base in place of the banged-up Smith. Rotowire.com Sunday, 12:59 pm

    • Josh Smith (tightness) remains out Sunday vs. M’s
      Josh Smith (tightness) remains out of the lineup for Sunday’s game against the Mariners.

      Advice: Smith did appear as a pinch-hitter against the Mariners in the Rangers’ loss to Seattle on Saturday, but he’ll begin Sunday’s game on the bench with Ezequiel Duran getting the start at third base. Smith should still be considered day-to-day. Rotoworld Sunday, 10:58 am

    • Ready for rehab stint
      Jung (wrist) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

      Advice: Jung, who suffered a fractured right wrist early in the season, resumed swinging the bat in late May and progressed to live batting practice earlier this week. He's now ready for game action, which puts a return to the Rangers before the end of the month very much on the table. Expect Jung to slot back in at third base immediately upon activation after his All-Star campaign in 2023. Rotowire.com Sunday, 10:37 am
