Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager takes live batting practice for the first time since being sidelined by a back injury again on July 1, according to multiple reports. Yahoo Sports says Seager participates in live BP on Sunday and completes the session with a home run. The report also indicates he is planning to take live BP again on Monday. Both sources describe this as part of his continued return from the injury that has kept him out for a second time during the season.
The Yahoo account notes Seager had previously played two games in the minors in early June while working back from a separate three-week absence caused by lower back inflammation. After that stint, he returned to the Rangers, but a renewed back issue again leads to him missing time starting July 1. The Yahoo report further suggests his next steps may include a minor league rehab assignment, though the specific timing and length are not detailed.
