Scouting Report: Josh Green
Chicago Cubs | SP
Overall
Summary
Josh Smith, Texas Rangers second baseman, is dealing with multiple injuries that have significantly impacted his 2026 season. Originally placed on the 10-day IL on May 4 with a right glute strain, Smith subsequently developed left wrist inflammation during his rehab process, delaying his return. Most recently, Smith was hospitalized for viral meningitis, requiring at least 7-10 days of treatment. Prior to injuries, Smith was struggling offensively, hitting .217/.324/.239 with no home runs and 6 RBIs in 31 games. The combination of physical injuries and serious illness has created significant uncertainty around his return timeline and performance outlook.
