Rangers' Josh Smith: Sitting against southpaw

Smith is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Rockies.

The lefty-hitting Smith went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Saturday's 8-3 loss. He will begin Sunday's contest on the bench as the Rockies send out southpaw Ty Blach. Ezequiel Duran will fill in for Smith at third base.
