Josh H. Smith Stats

Texas Rangers outfielder Josh H. Smith (face) is back in the starting lineup on Friday against the Chicago Cubs and right-hander Marcus Stroman. Smith is starting in left field and hitting ninth in the batting order. The 25-year-old outfielder will return to action for the first time since getting hit in the face by a pitch on Monday against the Baltimore Orioles. The left-handed hitter has minimal DFS appeal in the nine-hole for Texas, and he's gone just 1-for-4 two three runs scored, two walks and three strikeouts in his first three games of the season in just his second MLB campaign.

Texas Rangers utility player Josh H. Smith (face) had a CT scan done on Monday after the conclusion of the 2-0 loss to the Baltimore Orioles. They came back "clean," according to Kennedi Landry of MLB.com. Smith was hit in the face by a pitch and left the contest in the third inning. There's still more to come on his status moving forward. Over three games this season, the 25-year-old is slashing .250/.625/.250 with three runs and no extra-base hits. Considering Smith's career .198 batting average and .565 OPS over 76 games, he isn't fantasy relevant right now until he starts showing off his potential that made him a second-round draft pick in 2019.

Texas Rangers outfielder Josh H. Smith left his team's Monday night game against the Baltimore Orioles after getting hit in the side of the face by a pitch during the third inning. The HBP was Smith's only plate appearance of the evening and he was quickly replaced by pinch-runner Ezequiel Duran at first base. Smith has picked up one hit and scored three runs in four at-bats thus far in the 2023 season. Look for the Rangers to update his status after the conclusion of Monday's contest.
