Texas Rangers face a tough roster shakeup as Josh Jung goes on the injured list with a recurring calf strain, sidelined just as they battle for the AL West lead. To fill his spot, utilityman Josh Smith is called up — a defensive upgrade but a downgrade offensively. Jung’s been crushing it at the plate, but his defense has been shaky. Smith, despite a rough season and minor league stints, brings solid defensive metrics at third. With a crucial series against the Mariners looming, the Rangers hope Smith can stabilize the infield while Jung recovers — and maybe even return as early as next weekend.
