Smith entered Tuesday's 5-0 win over Seattle as a pinch runner after Corey Seager left with a forearm injury.

EDGE Analysis

Seager, who was removed after being plunked on the inner left forearm, was replaced by Smith on the bases then in the field for the final inning. Seager is considered day-to-day, which could lead to starts for Smith in the coming days. Mark Mathias and Charlie Culberson are also around for infield depth.

Smith is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Smith is 4-for-34 over his past 11 contests and will take a seat Tuesday in Seattle. Bubba Thompson and Adolis Garcia will start in the corner outfield while Charlie Culberson serves as the designated hitter.

Smith went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Wednesday's victory over the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

After tallying an RBI with a fielder's choice in the second inning, Smith provided a big insurance run for the Rangers Wednesday as he hit a solo shot in in the seventh to improve the lead to 4-2. The home run was his second of the season and first extra-base hit since July 29. He is slashing .205/.311/.261 through 205 plate appearances this season and will likely maintain a part-time role moving forward.

Smith isn't starting Saturday against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Smith has hit just .100 with a run and seven strikeouts over six games since rejoining the major-league club, and he'll be on the bench for the third time in the last five matchups. Bubba Thompson is starting in left field and batting ninth.

Smith isn't starting Wednesday against the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Smith has gone 0-for-11 with three strikeouts over his last three games and will be on the bench for the second time in the last three matchups. Nick Solak is starting in left field and batting eighth Wednesday.

Smith started at shortstop in place of the resting Corey Seager and went 0-for-4 in Tuesday's 8-7 win over the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Smith has mostly played third base or left field this season, and Tuesday's start at shortstop was his first of the season. With Josh Jung up with the team and playing every day at third base, opportunities for Smith are in short supply. Bubba Thompson has been the primary left fielder, so it should be random starts for Smith, who is batting .193 since the All-Star break.

Smith isn't in the lineup for the nightcap of Monday's doubleheader in Miami.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in the afternoon game and is an unimpressive 2-for-14 since the beginning of September. Kole Calhoun and Bubba Thompson will man the outfield corners Monday night.

Smith will start in left field and bat eighth in the first game of Monday's doubleheader with the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

After receiving a promotion from Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday, Smith has stepped in as the Rangers' new everyday left fielder while Kole Calhoun has moved into a bench role. Even with a lefty (Trevor Rogers) taking the hill for Miami in Game 1, the lefty-hitting Smith will draw his fourth consecutive start after going 2-for-10 with a run scored in the Rangers' three-game series with Toronto over the weekend.

Smith was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Smith was sent to Round Rock on Aug. 21, and he slashed .386/.491/.727 with two homers, two triples, five doubles, 15 RBI, 14 runs and a stolen base over 11 games following his demotion. He'll rejoin the major-league club after Ezequiel Duran was sent down Thursday but will likely have to compete for playing time at third base since Josh Jung is expected to be called up by the Rangers on Friday.

The Rangers optioned Smith to Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Shortly after the All-Star break, Smith's hold on the everyday third-base job had started to loosen, with the rookie having handled more of a utility role of late. Considering Smith had started in only two of the previous five games and was batting just .206 in August, the Rangers evidently felt the 25-year-old was best off heading back to Triple-A to regain confidence at the dish and play on a more frequent basis. Outfielder Kole Calhoun (heel) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and took over Smith's spot on the 26-man active roster.
