Goes deep in win Smith went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and a second run scored in Sunday's 8-1 win over Atlanta.

Impact Smith had gone 0-for-9 with three strikeouts over his previous three games. He stretched Texas' lead to 5-1 with his second-inning homer off Bryce Elder, which was Smith's first long ball since July 5 in San Diego. The utility player is up to a .274/.352/.415 slash line with nine homers, 28 RBI, 52 runs scored, nine stolen bases, 17 doubles and one triple over 93 contests. Smith's playing time has faltered a bit with the Rangers facing lefties in four of their last eight games, but he should be a fairly regular presence in the lineup versus right-handers without being strictly platooned.

Idle against lefty Smith is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

Impact Though he was included in the lineup in Monday's series opener when the Athletics sent southpaw Jacob Lopez to the hill, the left-handed-hitting Smith will take a seat Wednesday while southpaw JP Sears takes the hill for the opposition. With Smith on the bench, Ezequiel Duran will pick up a start at first base.

Moves to DH Smith started at designated hitter and went 1-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Athletics.

Impact Smith continues to fill in everywhere for the Rangers. He most recently had a regular gig at third base, but that closed when Josh Jung was called up from Triple-A Round Rock. Besides DH, Smith can get consistent playing time at first base while Jake Burger (quadriceps) is on the 10-day injured list.

Starts against lefty Smith started at third base and went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Saturday's 5-4 loss to Houston.

Impact Smith typically doesn't start against left-handers -- he's appeared in 44 games against them with just 66 at-bats -- but Ezequiel Duran was needed to cover first base for Jake Burger (quadriceps). Smith was dropped from his usual leadoff spot to eighth in a rare start against a southpaw, against whom he has a .212/.274/.242 slash line in 2025. The steal was Smith's ninth of the season and first in 29 contests.

Early offense in loss Smith went 1-for-3 with a run scored in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Padres.

Impact Smith led off the game with a single and came home on a Corey Seager double to give the Rangers an early lead. It was the second straight game that Smith had a hand in giving Texas an early lead -- he homered to lead off Saturday's win. In 44 games as the team's leadoff hitter, Smith is slashing .284/.350/.448. His 42 runs scored in 77 games tops the Rangers.

Homers in win Smith started at third base and went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 7-4 win over San Diego.

Impact Smith got Texas on the board early when he led off the game with his eighth home run of the season. It was the third time in 2025 that he's gone deep as the leadoff batter in the top of the first inning. Smith started at third base for a second consecutive game and may find a home there against right-handers with Josh Jung having been sent down to Triple-A Round Rock. Smith has been rolling since the beginning of June, posting a .318/.387/.495 line with four homers, seven doubles, 10 RBI, two steals and 22 runs over 26 games.
