Texas Rangers’ top hitter Josh Jung is sidelined with a calf strain, forcing a roster shuffle as infielder Josh Smith returns from Triple-A to fill the void. Jung’s .294 average ranks third in the AL, but manager Skip Schumaker pulled him after he tried to play through the pain. Smith, a .230 hitter with one homer and eight RBIs in 40 games, is making his third big-league call-up this season after missing time with viral meningitis. The Rangers are counting on Smith to step up while Jung recovers — a true test of depth.
