He's had a rough go of it in August, slashing .197/.274/.250 with four RBI and six runs scored over 23 games this month.

Finds home in right field Smith started in right field and went 0-for-4 in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Royals.

Impact Smith has started four consecutive games in right field, a spot that normally is filled by the injured Adolis Garcia (ankle). Smith makes a good living in Texas as a fill-in for injured players regardless of position. He's started games at first base (24), third base (28), shortstop (31) and all three outfield spots (13).

Last Night in Baseball: Rangers Keep Pace With Yankees Thanks to Comeback Win

Logs two hits in win Smith started in left field and went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Monday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Smith doubled to kick off a four-run sixth-inning that brought the Rangers back into the contest. The double was his 20th and the run scored his team-leading 58th through 107 games. Smith has been seeing time in left field with Evan Carter (back) on the IL, but Carter is set to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday and could rejoin the club for a road trip in Toronto beginning Friday. That would put Smith back into a useful super-utility role, filling in wherever needed.
