Texas Rangers’ star third baseman Josh Jung is sidelined with a calf strain, retroactive to Wednesday, forcing a roster shuffle as they call up infielder Josh Smith from Triple-A Round Rock to fill the void. Jung, leading the team in batting average and tied for third in the AL, had to exit a game against the White Sox — a blow that impacts their offensive lineup. Smith, who’s battled injuries including viral meningitis earlier this season, gets another shot to step up. With Jung on the injured list for 10 days, the Rangers must hope for a quick recovery and rely on Smith and the rest of the squad to keep momentum alive — a reminder of baseball’s unpredictable nature.
