The Texas Rangers place shortstop Corey Seager on the 10-day injured list due to lower back inflammation, according to reports. The move comes before the Rangers’ game against the Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday. Seager was in the lineup for Tuesday’s game, but he is removed from the lineup before his first at-bat after experiencing a flare-up of his back during warmups. After the flare-up, the Rangers opt to place him on the injured list rather than have him play through the issue.
While the injury is described specifically as lower back inflammation, the reports do not provide a detailed timeline for his return beyond the placement on the 10-day IL. The decision reflects ongoing management of the back condition following symptoms that appear to worsen around game time. The Rangers’ roster moves and Seager’s replacement are not detailed in the provided summaries, but the team’s next steps are expected to address his absence from upcoming games.
