Smith started at shortstop and went 2-for-5 with a run scored in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Mariners.

Smith made a sixth consecutive start at shortstop, and the Rangers will now be without Corey Seager (hip, hernia) for the rest of the season. Smith should see the bulk of the time at shortstop to finish off what has been his best year in the majors. He's batting .264/.348/.403 with 12 home runs, 56 RBI, nine steals and 61 runs scored over 136 games.

Paredes went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Friday's 9-5 loss to the Rockies.

All three hits were singles but Paredes will take all the base knocks he can get after starting slowly with his new team. The infielder is heating up lately, however, as he's now riding a five-game hitting streak. During the stretch, Paredes is batting a sizzling .529 with a 1.134 OPS. It looks like the 25-year-old is turning a corner in a Chicago uniform and could be primed for a big final few weeks of the regular season.

Bohm (hand) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Bohm has been on the injured list since Sept. 6 due to a strained left hand, though he hasn't played in a game since late August. He'll now head out to the minors to play a few tune-up games, and manager Rob Thomson said that the 28-year-old could return to the Phillies on Monday for the start of their upcoming series in Milwaukee.

Westburg (hand) has begun hitting in the cage and is participating in full baseball activities, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

It's another positive step in Westburg's recovery from a fractured hand he suffered in late July. The next step would be a rehab assignment with Double-A Bowie or Triple-A Norfolk. Before landing on the IL, Westburg was slashing .269/.317/.497 with 18 home runs and 58 RBI across 420 plate appearances.

Mayo is not in Friday's lineup against the Tigers.

The righty-hitting Mayo started two of the past three games (all against righties), but he'll head to the bench Friday with righty Beau Brieske working as the opener and lefty Brant Hurter expected to come in as the primary pitcher. Emmanuel Rivera draws the start at third base, batting eighth. Mayo is hitting .133 with a walk and six strikeouts in 15 at-bats since being a September call-up.

Jung is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Orioles, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Jung started the previous four games and will receive a day off after going 2-for-9 with three walks, a double and five runs during that span. Matt Vierling will shift to third base while Wenceel Perez receives a start in right field against Baltimore righty Zach Eflin.

DeJong is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Pittsburgh.

DeJong is out of the lineup for the third time in four games, with Adam Frazier slotting in at third base Friday. Since being dealt to Kansas City, DeJong has slashed .239/.294/.467 across 30 games. However, he's gone just 3-for-19 in September.

Jung went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 5-4 win over Seattle.

Jung launched his seventh homer and first in eight games in the second inning to give Texas an early lead. Since returning from a thumb injury that cost him nearly four months, Jung is slashing .260/.288/.390 with five home runs, nine RBI, three steals and 13 runs scored over 38 games.

Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Cleveland's loss to the Rays on Thursday.

Ramirez singled and stole second in his first trip to the plate, giving him his fourth consecutive game with at least one steal. The third baseman would also come around to score in the frame, marking his third straight contest with a run scored. Despite having hit safely in each of his last five contests, Ramirez is batting just .222 (10-for-45) in September with one homer, two RBI, six runs and five stolen bases. Thursday's theft was his 39th of the campaign.

Duran is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Seattle.

Duran has been picking up starts at a multitude of positions since Corey Seager (hip) landed on the 10-day injured list. Until Thursday, Duran had made five consecutive starts, but he went hitless in the last two games as the designated hitter. Adolis Garcia is in the lineup as the designated hitter Thursday while Josh Smith is starting at shortstop.
