Overview

  • Corey Seager returned to the Rangers' lineup on May 3 after a 10-day IL stint for a strained right hamstring, going 1-for-4 with a run scored as DH.
  • The Rangers lost 2-1 to the AL West-leading Mariners in Seager's return, falling to 16-17 and below .500 for the first time since Opening Day.
  • During Seager's 10-game absence, the Rangers went 2-8 and scored just 29 runs, with 15 coming in a single game against Oakland.
  • Infielder Jonathan Ornelas was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock to make room for Seager's activation.
  • Despite Seager’s individual success before and after his injury, Texas remains last in the American League in runs scored, struggling to regain offensive momentum.
