May 10, 2025; Detroit, Michigan, USA; Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (5) receives congratulations from designated hitter Joc Pederson (4) after he hits a home run in the sixth inning against the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park.

Overview

  • Corey Seager was placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to May 11, due to a recurring right hamstring strain.
  • This marks Seager’s second IL stint this season, having previously missed 10 games for the same injury in late April and early May.
  • The Texas Rangers activated catcher Kyle Higashioka from the IL in a corresponding move after his recovery from a mild intercostal strain.
  • Josh Smith and Ezequiel Durán have been filling in at shortstop during Seager’s absence, with Smith also dealing with minor back soreness.
  • Seager has been productive when healthy, batting .300 with six home runs and a .520 slugging percentage over 26 games in the fourth year of his $325 million contract.
