Moves to third base
Smith started at shortstop Sunday then moved to third base when Josh Jung left with a finger injury.
Analysis
Smith had been filling in for an injured Corey Seager (hamstring) before covering third base. Jung believes he'll be able to play Monday, per Henry Schulman of MLB.com. If Jung is unavailable, then Smith could move to third base while Nick Ahmed starts at shortstop.

Fills in at shortstop
Smith started at shortstop and went 0-for-4 with a walk in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Athletics.
Analysis
Smith filled in for the injured Corey Seager (hamstring) and is expected to handle the strong side of a platoon at short in his absence. Nick Ahmed, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Round Rock earlier this week, started Wednesday against a lefty. Smith has also hit leadoff the last two times Texas has faced a right-handed pitcher.

Moved to leadoff
Smith batted leadoff and went 1-for-4 with a walk, a home run, an RBI and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 8-5 win over the Athletics.
Analysis
Among the several lineup tweaks made by Texas manager Bruce Bochy, Smith was moved to the leadoff spot with Marcus Semien being dropped to fifth. The move, designed to fix a struggling offense, paid off for at least one night. The lineup and batting order tweaks came against a right-hander, and it's uncertain if Bochy will continue the practice against lefties. That will be determined Wednesday when the Rangers face southpaw JP Sears. One thing for certain is that Smith is hitting well out of the gates and getting his bat in the lineup is needed. He started in center field in place of Leody Taveras on Tuesday and eventually moved to shortstop when Corey Seager was removed due to a hamstring injury. In the past, Smith has been the primary fill-in at short whenever Seager dealt with an injury.
