The Texas Rangers place shortstop Corey Seager on the seven-day concussion list, according to reports. The move clears roster space for second baseman Josh Smith to return after a roughly six-week absence that included a bout with viral meningitis. Smith, 28, is listed as available off the bench in the Rangers’ home game against the Minnesota Twins on Monday night. While Smith primarily plays second base, he can also play all four infield positions and has experience in the outfield. His return comes as the Rangers manage multiple injuries across the roster. In early May, Smith was sidelined by a combination of glute and wrist injuries before the later illness. With Seager temporarily inactive under the concussion protocol, the Rangers adjust their infield and bench options to cover available roles. The concussion list indicates a minimum seven-day timeframe under Major League Baseball’s concussion procedures, while Smith’s activation reflects recovery from the meningitis episode and readiness to play in a limited capacity initially.
