## Resource

The Rangers are injecting youthful energy with the call-up of Jarred Kelenic, a 26-year-old slugger slashing .340/.400/.600 in 13 minor league games, while sending struggling All-Star utility man Josh Smith down to Triple-A. Kelenic, once a top prospect, brings speed, defense, and power to spark a stagnant offense, while Smith’s demotion reflects a season of injuries and inconsistency. This roster shakeup signals a strategic pivot as the Rangers chase a new identity — and a new spark — for the rest of the year.
