Texas Rangers Place Josh Smith on 10-Day IL With Right Glute Strain

The Texas Rangers officially placed infielder Josh Smith on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to a right glute strain. The move forces Smith out of action as he begins his recovery process, with the team calling up Justin Foscue in a corresponding roster move. Smith's absence leaves a gap in the Rangers' infield rotation while he focuses on rehabilitation. The injury was significant enough to require a formal IL stint rather than day-to-day management as the team monitors his progress.
