What's Happening?
Josh Smith of the Texas Rangers did not travel with the team to Cleveland due to personal reasons. Smith and his wife are expecting a child, and he has opted to stay behind to be with his family. The Rangers have already been eliminated from postseason contention, which may influence Smith's decision to sit out the remaining games of the season.
Why It's Important?
Smith's decision to prioritize family over the remaining games reflects the personal choices athletes often face between professional commitments and personal life. With the Rangers out of postseason eligibility, Smith's absence may not significantly impact the team's performance but highlights the human aspect of sports where personal milestones can take precedence.
