Josh Smith

Smith is batting seventh tonight. He'll play pretty regularly while Josh Jung is on the injured list.

Smith (quadriceps) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Ornelas was recalled because Josh Jung is injured and Josh Smith hurt himself during Saturday's game. Texas needed an extra infielder and Ornelas will do the job with Jung going on the injured list. Ornelas is in the lineup Sunday playing shortstop and batting eighth with Corey Seager getting a routine day off.

Rangers manager Bruce Bochy told reporters they expect Jung to be back after the minimum amount of time on the injured list. Josh Smith started at third base Saturday and had to leave the game after taking a tumble while trying to catch a foul pop up. Ezequiel Duran filled in for Smith, but now with Jung on the injured list the Rangers can add another infielder to the roster in a move we expect shortly.

The bad news is that Smith picked up the bruise on his quad. The good news is that it appears he avoided a significant injury. Smith will likely sit a day or two, but should be back in the lineup in the coming days; assuming there is no structural damage, of course.
