Josh Smith of Texas Rangers Dealing with Back Soreness, Day-to-Day Status

Josh Smith has been dealing with multiple injuries this season, including a bruised thumb in April and a quad contusion in March. Despite these setbacks, he has maintained a solid batting average of .310 over 36 games. His consistent performance is highlighted by his home batting average of .325, showing his effectiveness at Globe Life Field.

With Smith expected to play, the Rangers will face the Colorado Rockies at home. Players like Josh Jung and Ezequiel Duran could see shifts in their roles if Smith's back soreness affects his play. Smith's recent stats show a slight dip in his last three games, with a batting average of .178, but he remains a key player in the lineup.
