Smith is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

The Cubs are sending a tough southpaw (Shota Imanaga) to the hill for the series finale, so the lefty-hitting Smith will retreat to the bench. Though Smith no longer has a path to regular playing time at third base with Josh Jung (neck) returning from the injured list earlier this week, Smith could see action in left field if Wyatt Langford requires a stint on the IL after tweaking his oblique Tuesday.

Urshela went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a run scored and three RBI in Tuesday's 10-4 win over the Padres.

The veteran third baseman doubled his hit total on the season with the performance. Urshela has had a shaky start to the campaign, batting .182 (6-for-33) in 10 games with zero homers, two runs and four RBI, but his starting spot at the hot corner doesn't seem to be in any jeopardy.

Smith started at first base and went 1-for-3 with a walk and two runs scored in Tuesday's 10-6 loss to the Cubs.

Smith's steady gig as a fill-in third baseman ended Tuesday with the return of Josh Jung; however, Texas manager Bruce Bochy wanted to keep Smith's lively bat -- 7-for-17 over the previous six games -- in the lineup. So, the manager gave Jake Burger (.105) a break at first base. Smith could reprise his temporary fill-in role at another position, as left fielder Wyatt Langford (side) was removed in the seventh inning Tuesday.

Jung went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 10-6 loss to the Cubs.

In his return to the lineup after missing time with neck spasms, Jung picked up right where he left off with a multi-hit effort. The former top prospect is off to an outstanding start at the plate in the early going, having gone 6-for-11 with two extra-base hits and two RBI over three appearances to begin the year.

Miranda went 0-for-3 with three strikeouts in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to Kansas City.

Miranda struck out swinging on all three plate appearances Tuesday. He's been punched out 13 times across 32 plate appearances to start the 2025 season and is slashing .156/.156/.250 with one home run and five RBI. Miranda has been getting some extended time at third base due to Royce Lewis (hamstring) and Brooks Lee (back) both being on the 10-day injured list. However, if Miranda doesn't improve at the plate, he could see his playing time dip if the Twins opt to shift Willi Castro to the hot corner while giving Edouard Julien more looks at the keystone.

The Rangers optioned Duran to Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.

With Josh Jung (neck) back from the injured list, Duran is the odd man out in the Rangers' infield mix. He failed to record a hit or get on base across his first 12 plate appearances to begin the season. Duran will try to find his swing with more regular playing time in the minors.

Texas activated Jung (neck) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Jung appears to be over his neck spasms and is ready to return to the lineup after a rehab stint at Double-A Frisco. Jung went 3-for-7 at the plate with one RBI to begin the season before going down with the neck issue. In order to make room for Jung on the 26-man roster, the Rangers optioned Ezequiel Duran to Triple-A Round Rock.

Rivera (shoulder) has gone 3-for-12 with two walks, an RBI and a stolen base in three games since being activated from Triple-A Norfolk's 7-day injured list Friday.

Rivera had been attending spring training as a non-roster invitee but didn't appear in any Grapefruit League games after March 13 due to a sore left shoulder. The injury resulted in him being inactive when Norfolk opened its season March 28, but Rivera missed only a handful of games before being cleared for his 2025 debut. The 28-year-old boasts 341 games' worth of MLB experience, but since he no longer possesses a spot on the Orioles' 40-man roster, he may face an uphill battle to earn another look with Baltimore in 2025.

Moncada (thumb) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rays, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Moncada will miss his third straight start as he tends to a thumb injury. Luis Rengifo is making another start at third base and batting second. Moncada is slashing .200/.385/.300 with a pair of doubles, four RBI and three runs scored across 26 plate appearances to begin the 2025 campaign.

Cabrera is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers.

Even though Cabrera and Oswald Peraza are both right-handed hitters, the two appear to have settled into a de facto platoon at third base. All seven of Cabrera's starts have come against right-handed pitching, and all four of his absences from the lineup have come when the Yankees have faced left-handers. Peraza will make his third straight start against a southpaw Tuesday as the Tigers send ace Tarik Skubal to the hill.
