Logs hit, scores run in return
Smith went 1-for-5 with a run scored in Friday's 6-2 win over the Pirates.
Analysis
Smith returned to action following a three-game hiatus due to a hamstring injury. His leadoff single to open the game extended his hitting streak to eight games (14-for-36, .389) and an on-base streak to 12 contests (.426 OBP). Smith is expected to retain his role as the team's leadoff batter and primary designated hitter against right-handers.

Returns to starting nine
Smith (hamstring) is batting leadoff and playing DH on Friday against Pittsburgh.
Analysis
Smith was held out of the lineup for three consecutive games due to left hamstring soreness, but he's been cleared to DH on Friday. The Rangers could look to ease Smith back into work in the field. He logged a hit in seven straight games before sustaining the injury, going 13-for-31 (.419) with two homers during that stretch.

Available off bench Thursday
Smith (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Royals, but manager Bruce Bochy said that Smith will be available off the bench as a pinch hitter, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
Analysis
Smith's tight left hamstring will keep him out of the lineup for a third straight game could still be causing him some complications when he runs and plays the field, but the Rangers remain confident that the 27-year-old will avoid a trip to the injured list. In fact, Bochy added that he expects Smith to be ready to rejoin the starting nine during this weekend's series in Pittsburgh, though it wouldn't be surprising if Smith was used as a designated hitter initially. Smith has been a bright spot in a middling season for the Rangers, slashing .288/.357/.443 with seven home runs and eight stolen bases over 245 plate appearances while making starts at every position except pitcher and catcher.

Remains out Wednesday
Smith (hamstring) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.
Analysis
Smith will miss a second straight start due to left hamstring tightness and isn't expected to play Thursday, either. However, the Rangers appear optimistic that the super-utility player can avoid the 10-day injured list and return to action this weekend in Pittsburgh. Smith has arguably been the Rangers' most valuable hitter this season, producing a 127 wRC+ while slashing .288/.357/.443 with seven home runs and eight stolen bases across 245 plate appearances.

Likely to avoid IL
The Rangers don't believe Smith will need to go on the injured list after suffering from left hamstring tightness during Sunday's 2-1 win over the White Sox, MLB.com reports.
Analysis
Smith missed Tuesday's series-opening loss to the Royals while recovering from the hamstring injury and could miss a couple more games, but the Rangers belive the super-utility player will be ready to return by the weekend. In Tuesday's contest, Smith ceded his spot in the lineup to rookie Alejandro Ozuna, who served as Texas' designated hitter.

Nursing hamstring injury
Manager Bruce Bochy said Tuesday that Smith is dealing with a minor hamstring issue, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis
The skipper added that although Carter will not require an IL stint, he's likely to miss another game or two while he recovers. Most of the 27-year-old's recent playing time has come as Texas' designated hitter, though Alejandro Osuna will fill in at DH on Tuesday.

On base three times in win
Smith went 2-for-5 with a walk, two doubles and two runs scored in Saturday's 5-4 extra-innings victory over the White Sox.
Analysis
Smith extended a multi-hit streak to six games (12-for-28), and he has scored nine runs during that stretch. He endured a fallow stretch over the second half of May (5-for-45, .111) but has kicked it back up in June, going 19-for-50 (.388) with four walks, six doubles, three home runs, eight RBI and 12 runs over 12 contests.
