Albert Abreu - Designated for assignmentAbreu was designated for assignment by the Rangers on Monday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

ImpactAbreu spent several weeks on the injured list due to an ankle injury, but he tossed a scoreless relief inning against the Athletics on Saturday after being reinstated from the IL on Tuesday.

Zach Reks - Recalled by TexasReks was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Monday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

ImpactReks spent just under two weeks with the major-league club in late April and early May, and he went 4-for-14 with a double, three RBI, two runs and six strikeouts over six games. However, he'll provide additional outfield depth for the Rangers after Brad Miller (hip) was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday.

Brad Miller - Lands on 10-day ILMiller (hip) was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

ImpactMiller was removed from Sunday's game against Oakland due to right hip tightness, and the issue is apparently significant enough to prompt a trip to the injured list. Eli White should see additional playing time in Miller's absence, while the Rangers selected Josh Smith's contract as part of a corresponding move.

Josh Smith - Called up by RangersSmith's contract was selected by the Rangers on Monday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

ImpactSmith is among the Rangers' top prospects, and he was promoted to Triple-A Round Rock to begin the 2022 season. Over 40 games at Round Rock, he slashed .273/.382/.422 with four homers, 30 runs, 29 RBI and eight stolen bases. While the 24-year-old displayed slightly decreased power abilities at the Triple-A level this year, he struck out just 20.4 percent of the time and has decent power and speed potential. Smith is a middle infielder, but he's also played at third base and in center field this year. He's expected to be in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener against the Rays.

Stephen Vogt - Hitless in first rehab gameVogt (knee) went 0-for-4 with a walk and three strikeouts in Triple-A Las Vegas' win over Tacoma on Sunday.

ImpactPlaying in his first rehab game, Vogt didn't have his previously injured knee put through the rigors of catching, as he started and took a full complement of at-bats as the designated hitter. The Aviators have the day off Monday, meaning Vogt could be ready to test himself out behind the dish in Tuesday's contest against Sacramento.
