Josh Smith - Hospitalized with meningitis Smith (lower body/wrist) was diagnosed with viral meningitis Friday and is receiving treatment in a hospital, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Impact Smith is expected to remain in the hospital for 7-to-10 days, at which point he'll restart his rehab program. The 28-year-old utility man had already been dealing with a glute strain and a wrist issue, and there's currently no telling when he'll be back in the Rangers' lineup. Ezequiel Duran has been making regular starts at second base with Smith sidelined.

Luis Curvelo - Beginning rehab assignment Curvelo (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.

Impact Curvelo has been sidelined since April 15 with a right shoulder impingement, but he appears to be nearing a return to the mound. The right-hander pitched in four games out of the Texas bullpen prior to the injury, surrendering three runs on six hits and two walks with three strikeouts across five innings.

Corey Seager - Not in lineup Friday Seager is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Astros.

Impact Seager is 0-for-25 at the plate over his last seven games and will get a breather, as Ezequiel Duran moves over to shortstop for Texas. On the season, Seager is slashing a disappointing .179/.286/.353 with seven home runs, 20 RBI, 22 runs scored, one stolen base and a 22:50 BB:K across 182 plate appearances.

Cody Freeman - Ready for rehab assignment Freeman (back) will begin a rehab assignment with the Rangers' Arizona Complex League affiliate Thursday.

Impact Freeman missed most of spring training due to a stress reaction in his lower back but has been cleared for games after a long rehab process. Because he's been sidelined for so long, Freeman's rehab assignment could last a while. When the Rangers decide the 25-year-old is ready to rejoin the active roster, he'll fill a utility role.

Last Night in Baseball: Blue Jays Stun Rays on 10th-Inning Walk-Off Grand Slam

Ezequiel Duran - Involved in late comeback win Duran went 1-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 6-5 win over Arizona.

Impact Duran laced a two-out, RBI double and scored in the ninth inning as part of the Rangers' three-run rally to overcome a 5-3 deficit. He's finding a comfortable home at second base with Josh Smith (wrist/lower body) sidelined on the injured list. Duran has hit safely in 10 off 11 contests, slashing .325/.404/.600 with six extra-base hits, eight RBI, one steal and eight runs scored during that stretch. Given that Duran has been good against pitchers of either hand, he could take over as the club's primary second baseman, which had been Smith's job prior to his injury.

Joc Pederson - Remains at leadoff Pederson batted atop the order and went 0-for-4 in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Pederson batted leadoff for a second consecutive game, both against right-handers, while Brandon Nimmo followed him in the order. Nimmo has been the team's leadoff hitter every game in which he's started. The Rangers haven't faced a lefty since manager Skip Schumaker tweaked the top of the order, but presumably Pederson wouldn't be in the lineup against southpaws. He's had just five plate appearances against left-hander all season.

Jake Burger - Homers in four-RBI effort Burger went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Wednesday's 6-5 win over Arizona.

Impact Burger matched a season high in RBI on Wednesday, knocking multiple hits for the ninth time this year as well. The 30-year-old first baseman hasn't been all that effective at the plate overall in 2026, but the Rangers are lacking in other viable alternatives at the cold corner to push Burger for action on a consistent basis. Through 159 at-bats, Burger is hitting .226 with seven homers, five doubles and 27 RBI.
