Overview

  • Corey Seager was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right hamstring strain, retroactive to Sunday, marking his second stint on the IL this season for the same issue.
  • Seager has played in only five games since returning from his previous IL stint on May 3, including a standout performance on Saturday with two home runs in a win against Detroit.
  • Catcher Kyle Higashioka was activated from the 10-day IL after recovering from a mild left intercostal strain and is expected to fill a key roster spot.
  • Closer Luke Jackson avoided an IL placement despite being struck on his pitching hand by a 111-mph comebacker, with X-rays and a CT scan confirming no fractures.
  • Seager's recurring injuries continue to challenge the Rangers as they work to maintain roster stability and competitiveness in their bid to defend their 2023 World Series title.
