Seager went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and an additional RBI in Monday's 5-0 victory over Detroit.
Seager missed over a month on the injured list due to a hamstring injury, and since going 0-for-3 in his return, the shortstop has collected 14 hits (eight for extra bases), 18 RBI and eight runs over his past 10 appearances. The 2012 first-round pick signed a 10-year, $325 million deal with the Rangers following the 2021 campaign and went on to hit a career-high 33 homers in his first season with Texas. He already has five long balls through 22 appearances in 2023, but Seager's shown more diversity at the plate this year, slashing .333/.398/.607 across 84 plate appearances.

Rangers' Corey Seager: Plays field
Rotowire
Seager started at shortstop and went 1-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Friday's 7-2 win over Colorado.
Seager played the field for the first time since being activated off the injured list. He had served as the designated hitter Wednesday. Seager's double was such that he didn't have to run very hard and eventually scored from third base on a Josh Jung double, so he didn't have to test the hamstring that forced him to miss more than a month.

Rangers' Corey Seager: Adds RBI in return
Rotowire
Seager (hamstring/illness) went 0-for-3 with a sacrifice fly in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to Atlanta.
Seager wasn't able to log a hit in his return from a month-long absence, but he was able to drive in the Rangers' last run in the contest. The 29-year-old was the designated hitter Wednesday, but he shouldn't be too far away from resuming his role as the starting shortstop. Ezequiel Duran filled in nicely during Seager's absence but will likely have to move to third base or designated hitter to maintain an everyday role going forward. Seager is slashing .333/.434/.500 with a home run, five RBI, seven runs scored and no stolen bases through 12 games.

Rangers' Corey Seager: Batting second in return to lineup
Rotowire
The Rangers reinstated Seager (hamstring/illness) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday. He'll serve as the designated hitter and No. 2 batter in the series finale with Atlanta.
After missing just over a month with the strained left hamstring, Seager appeared to be ready to be activated for the start of the series Monday, but his reinstatement was delayed two days while he battled a stomach bug. Now presumably feeling healthy again, Seager will make his return to the lineup in a non-defensive role, but he should settle back in as the Rangers' everyday shortstop in the coming days. Seager was hitting .359/.469/.538 with one home run in 49 plate appearances before landing on the injured list on April 12.

Rangers' Corey Seager: Dealing with stomach bug
Rotowire
Seager has not been activated off the 10-day injured list because of a stomach bug, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.
Seager was expected to be activated in the early part of the week from his lengthy IL stint due to a hamstring strain, but the infielder's illness has kept him from returning the lineup. Assuming he feels better in the coming days, Seager should be back and starting for the Rangers at shortstop by the end of the week.

Rangers' Corey Seager: Early homestand return likely
Rotowire
Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said Wednesday that Seager (hamstring) is expected to return from the 10-day injured list "early" during the Rangers' upcoming homestand, which begins next Monday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Seager will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Frisco on Thursday, first playing five innings at shortstop and building up from there. Barring any setbacks over the weekend, he would seem to have a good shot to return to action in Monday's series opener versus Atlanta. Seager has been out since April 12 due to a left hamstring strain.
Seager (hamstring) is expected to begin a rehab assignment Thursday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Seager has been on the 10-day injured list since April 12 due to a left hamstring strain, but he continues to make progress in his recovery. Considering he's missed almost a month of action, he'll likely need a handful of contests to get back up to speed before the Rangers activate him.

Rangers' Corey Seager: Return date comes into focus
Rotowire
Texas manager Bruce Bochy said Wednesday that Seager (hamstring) is seven-to-10 days from returning to the lineup.

Rangers' Corey Seager: Out four weeks with hamstring issue
Rotowire
The Rangers placed Seager on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a Grade 2 left hamstring strain, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports. The injury will keep Seager out for a minimum of four weeks.
Seager suffered the injury in Tuesday's 8-5 win over the Royals in the bottom of the fifth inning while he was running to second base on an opposite-field double. The four-week timeline likely represents a re-evaluation point for Seager, who could need time beyond that to regain his timing at the plate even if he's cleared to resume baseball activities at that time. While Seager is away, Josh Smith should see starts at shortstop, but the Rangers could look externally or even have Marcus Semien shift over from second base to pick up playing time at the position.

Rangers' Corey Seager: Leaves with hamstring tightness
Rotowire
Seager left Tuesday's game against the Royals with left hamstring tightness, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports. He went 2-for-2 with a walk and a run scored before exiting the contest.
Seager was replaced by Josh Smith as a pinch runner after Seager appeared to tweak his hamstring. For now, the shortstop should be considered day-to-day, but the Rangers may need the 28-year-old to undergo imaging to confirm there's no structural damage.

Rangers' Corey Seager: Mashes first homer
Rotowire
Seager went 3-for-4 with a home run, a walk, two total runs and two total RBI in an 11-2 victory versus Kansas City on Monday.
Seager entered Monday having hit a double in three straight games, though he hadn't gone deep yet this season. The shortstop couldn't continue the double streak, but he ended the homerless drought with a first-inning solo shot off Zack Greinke. Seager is slashing a solid .324/.435/.486 on the campaign, yet he's produced just four RBI thus far.
