Remains out Wednesday Smith (hamstring) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

Impact Smith will miss a second straight start due to a hamstring issue and is not expected to play Thursday, either. However, the Rangers appear optimistic that the super utility player can avoid the 10-day injured list and return to action this weekend in Pittsburgh.

For Tuesday's game against the Royals, Alejandro Osuna filled in at designated hitter, while Evan Carter replaced Smith as the leadoff batter.
