Smith was scratched from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's game versus the Twins due to an elbow infection, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Smith had originally been slated to start at shortstop and bat third Tuesday, but his elbow will instead cause him to miss the series opener. Ezequiel Duran will fill in as Texas' shortstop and bat ninth.
