Scouting Report: Drew Smith
Colorado Rockies | RP
Overall
Summary
Josh Smith, Texas Rangers second baseman, is currently on the 10-day injured list due to a right glute strain sustained on May 4, 2026. During his rehabilitation, he developed a wrist inflammation issue that will delay his return by at least a few days beyond the initial May 15 eligibility date. Prior to his injury, Smith was struggling offensively, slashing .217/.324/.239 with 2 steals and 6 RBI across 108 plate appearances in 31 games. The 28-year-old's absence has allowed backup infielders Ezequiel Duran and Justin Foscue to see increased playing time, with both performing well.
Strengths
- Eligible to return soon (originally May 15, likely mid-to-late May)
- Manager Skip Schumaker indicated wrist inflammation should sideline him for only a couple of days
