Smith will not start for a third consecutive game because of his hamstring tightness. The good news is Rangers manager Bruce Bochy told reporters that Smith will be available off the bench. Assuming no setbacks, there’s a very good chance that Smith will be back in the Texas starting nine by the end of the weekend.

The question now is whether Martin will be available Thursday. The right-hander recently returned from the injured list because of a shoulder issue, so the Rangers may take even more precaution with the 39-year-old.

Gray also mixed in breaking pitches for the first time since landing on the IL with a fractured wrist. Assuming he bounces back well from the bullpen, Gray should face live hitters during a simulated game or live batting practice and then progress to what will be a lengthy rehab assignment.

Langford wasted no time starting the scoring here. He smoked a double 105.3 mph off the bat as the second batter of the game to drive in a run and chipped in two more hits as the game wore on. Stuck in a bit of a slump until the past week, he’s hitting .310 with an .877 over his last seven games and could be ready to go on a hot streak.

The 23-year-old has now homered in back-to-back games and has 10 homers on the season to go along with a .276/.393/.470 slash line and 55 RBIs in 69 games. He’s the 44th-ranked prospect in all of baseball, according to MLB Pipeline, but there is no place for him in Los Angeles right now. Perhaps he’s used as a trade chip at the deadline to help the Dodgers’ injured rotation. If not, we likely won’t see him until 2026, unless there’s an injury.

This move is just procedural so that the Yankees can make room on the 40-man roster for LHP Jayvien Sandridge. Cabrera fractured his ankle in May and will remain out for a while.

Burns continues to look like the best pitching prospect in baseball. The hard-throwing 22-year-old has allowed just three runs with a 14/4 K/BB ratio across 12 1/3 innings (two starts) since arriving on the doorstep of the majors. He’s blazed through three levels in Cincinnati’s system this year, compiling a surreal 1.77 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 89/13 K/BB ratio over 66 innings (13 starts). He could wind up arriving in the big leagues at some point in the second half, especially if he keeps dominating at the Triple-A level.
