Smith left Saturday's game against Boston in the first inning due to a left quadriceps contusion, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith suffered the injury when he collided into the fence in foul territory while attempting to field a flyball. He managed to initially stay in but was replaced by Ezequiel Duran in the bottom of the first inning. Smith will undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury, but he'll likely be held out of Sunday's series finale. With Josh Jung working through neck spasms, Duran could be in line for starts at third base.

Smith started in right field and went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's spring game against the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Smith started at a fifth different position Tuesday -- he's also defended first base, shortstop, third base and center field -- and manager Bruce Bochy plans for him to play all fielding positions except catcher this spring, Shawn McFarland of the Dallas Morning News reports. The home run was Smith's first of the Cactus League, and he's batting .316 (6-for-19) through seven outings.

Smith started at first base and went 1-for-2 with a double and a run scored in Tuesday's spring game against Kansas City.

EDGE Analysis

This was Smith's third Cactus League game, and he made starts at third base and center field prior to Tuesday's deployment. For the last two seasons, he's been needed as the primary fill-in for injured starters at shortstop and third base, but the Rangers are preparing him for a more diversified role in 2025. He's always carried multiple gloves with him, so moving around the diamond is nothing new. In more of a utility role, Smith may not receive the nearly 600 plate appearances he had last season.

Smith went 1-for-3 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Thursday's 3-2 loss to Oakland.

EDGE Analysis

Smith was back in the lineup after getting a day off against a left-hander Wednesday. He cracked his 29th double and scored as part of the Rangers' two-run third inning. The extra-base knock extended a hit streak to eight games, during which Smith is 10-for-32 (.313) with a home run, four RBI, two steals and six runs. The 26-year-old utility player is putting the finishing touches on what has been the best season of his three years at the major-league level.

Smith isn't in the Rangers' lineup for Wednesday's game against Oakland.

EDGE Analysis

With left-hander Brady Basso set to start on the bump for the A's, the lefty-hitting Smith will take a seat on the bench Wednesday. While he sits, Jonathan Ornelas will start at shortstop with Matt Duffy covering third base.

Smith went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 8-4 loss to the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Smith singled in the first inning and then tied the game with a two-run blast in the third. The long ball was his first since Aug. 5, and he has now hit safely in five straight contests. On the season, the 27-year-old is hitting .262 with 13 homers, 59 RBI, 64 runs scored and 10 steals across 564 plate appearances.

Smith went 1-for-4 with a walk, one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Tuesday's 13-8 win over the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Smith's steal was his 10th of the season. He's swiped two of those bags over 14 games in September while batting a poor .208 (11-for-53) for the month. Smith continues to see steady time at shortstop since Corey Seager (hip/sports hernia) was shut down for the year. Smith has a .260/.343/.396 slash line with 12 home runs, 57 RBI and 62 runs scored over 139 contests.

Smith started at shortstop and went 2-for-5 with a run scored in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Smith made a sixth consecutive start at shortstop, and the Rangers will now be without Corey Seager (hip, hernia) for the rest of the season. Smith should see the bulk of the time at shortstop to finish off what has been his best year in the majors. He's batting .264/.348/.403 with 12 home runs, 56 RBI, nine steals and 61 runs scored over 136 games.

Smith went 2-for-5 with a double, one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Wednesday's 10-6 win over the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Smith has hit safely in six of his last seven games, going 8-for-26 (.308) with three RBI in that span. The 27-year-old also has a 3:6 BB:K in that span. He got a rare look at leadoff with Marcus Semien sitting out Wednesday, though Smith has regularly batted third versus right-handers lately. He should be in line for a strong-side platoon role at shortstop while Corey Seager (hip) is on the injured list. Smith is slashing .268/.354/.413 with 12 home runs, 54 RBI, 57 runs scored and nine steals over 129 contests this season.
