Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (hamstring) went 1-for-3 with a run scored while serving as the designated hitter on Friday in his second minor-league rehab game for Double-A Frisco. Seager is expected to play seven innings at shortstop on Saturday, and barring any setbacks, there's a chance he'll return from the injured list to play for the Rangers on Monday in the series opener against the Atlanta Braves. He has been on the shelf since the middle of April with a left hamstring strain, but fantasy managers should get the All-Star shortstop back soon. Before the injury, the 29-year-old was hitting .359 (14-for-39) with four doubles, a home run and four RBI in 11 games. When Seager is back, he'll be a must-start in fantasy lineups.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (hamstring) went 2-for-3 with a two-run double in Thursday's rehab game with Double-A Frisco. Seager played five innings at shortstop before being replaced. The 29-year-old is expected to DH on Friday and could return for Monday's series against the Atlanta Braves. He has been sidelined since mid-April due to a left hamstring strain.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (hamstring) is planning to begin a minor league rehab assignment on Thursday. Seager has been sidelined since April 11 with a Grade 2 hamstring strain.

Seager is hitting .359 with a homer, seven runs, and four RBI across 39 at-bats.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (hamstring), who is on the injured list with a strained hamstring, played catch and took some swings on Monday in Cincinnati for the first time since suffering his injury on April 11 against the Kansas City Royals. He is expected to be out at least four weeks, but it's a good sign seeing him restart baseball activities. Barring any setbacks once the 28-year-old begins playing in minor-league rehab games, Seager should return to the Rangers lineup around the middle of May. Fantasy managers need to remain patient and keep him stashed in all leagues, as he was hitting .359 (14-for-39) with four doubles, a home run and four RBI in his first 11 games. Ezequiel Duran and Josh H. Smith will continue splitting time at the 6 with Seager out of action.

The Texas Rangers placed shortstop Corey Seager (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with a left hamstring strain and activated outfielder Leody Taveras (oblique) from the injured list in a corresponding move. Seager has a Grade 2 hammy strain, so he's expected to miss a minimum of four weeks. The 28-year-old injured himself on Tuesday. Fantasy managers will want to keep the star shortstop stashed everywhere, especially after he's hit .359 (14-for-39) with four doubles, a home run and four RBI in his first 11 games. Josh H. Smith is starting at the 6 on Wednesday and is hitting second against Kansas City Royals right-hander Brad Keller. Taveras should be the team's regular center fielder moving forward, and he's making his 2023 debut in the eight-hole on Wednesday.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager exited Tuesday's game against the Kansas City Royals with a pulled left hamstring, according to Evan Grant of Dallas Morning News. He was 2-for-2 with a walk and a double before leaving. The Rangers will continue to evaluate Seager, and more news about the ailment will come out when there's word on the severity. The 28-year-old's having another strong season at the plate thus far, slashing .359/.469/.538 with a home run, seven runs, and four RBI over 10 games. Fantasy managers should expect Seager to miss at least some time and hope that if he makes a trip to the injured list, it's a short one.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager isn't in the starting lineup on Wednesday for a matchup with the New York Yankees and right-hander Domingo German. Seager is enjoying a quality first season in Texas, batting .245 with a .317 on-base percentage, 33 home runs, and three stolen bases. He'll head to the bench with Josh Smith stepping in at shortstop and batting fifth. The 24-year-old is hitting .195 with a .304 on-base percentage, two home runs, and four stolen bases in 249 plate appearances for Texas this season. Fantasy managers in search of streaming options around the infield are probably better off looking elsewhere.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (forearm) is back in the starting lineup Friday against Reid Detmers and the Los Angeles Angels. Seager missed the previous two games due to a bruised left forearm he got after being hit by a pitch in Tuesday's game. The 28-year-old is having a nice season power-wise, smacking a career-high 32 homers. He has slowed down, however, and is slashing just .202/.257/.362 in September. Still, he should be started with confidence for the remainder of the season.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (forearm) is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Seattle Mariners. Seager will miss his second straight game due to a bruised left forearm that he suffered on Tuesday. The 28-year-old remains day-to-day after X-rays came back negative on his arm. With Seager out again Thursday, rookie Josh H. Smith will start at shortstop and hit ninth in the batting order against Mariners left-hander Marco Gonzales. DFS gamers can probably do a lot better than Smith in the nine-hole on Thursday. The 25-year-old rookie has just 38 hits in his first 190 MLB at-bats this year with two home runs, 16 RBI, 22 runs scored and four stolen bases.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (forearm) avoided a fracture on Tuesday night and is day-to-day with a forearm contusion, according to manager Tony Beasley. Seager was hit by a pitch on his inner left arm against the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday, but he has apparently avoided a serious injury. However, it remains to be seen if he'll be back in the starting lineup on Wednesday, so fantasy managers should be prepared to put him on their bench. The 28-year-old shortstop was 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in the game before departing. If he's unable to play on Wednesday, the Rangers will likely shift Marcus Semien to the 6 and have either Mark Mathias or Charlie Culberson handle the keystone.

Although the bruising was visible, Seager initially stayed in to run but was replaced several batters later by Josh Smith. Seager had gone 0-for-3 with two strikeouts before exiting.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager is not in the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Oakland Athletics. It looks to be a routine day off for Seager, but fantasy managers need to act accordingly.

The three-tie All-Star remains a must-start when he's on the field. Rookie Josh Smith is starting at shortstop and batting eighth on Tuesday against A's left-hander Ken Waldichuk. Smith has struggled in his first 161 major-league at-bats in 2022, going 34-for-161 (.211) with only one long ball, 12 RBI, 19 runs scored and three steals in 54 games.

Some were worried about how a move to Globe Life Field would affect the 28-year-old, but he's still a productive fantasy option at short in every format.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (leg) is serving as the designated hitter and is batting second on Monday against Baltimore Orioles right-hander Spenser Watkins. This is great news for the Rangers and fantasy managers alike, as it was reported over the weekend that there was a chance Seager would be placed on the injured list due to his leg injury. He's not back at the 6, but it's good news to see him in the starting lineup, regardless. The 28-year-old finished off the month of July by hitting a strong .318/.394/.647 with a 1.041 OPS, eight home runs, 19 RBI and 15 runs scored in 23 games played.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (leg) is sitting out on Sunday vs. the Los Angeles Angels. Seager fouled a ball off his leg on Thursday and has now missed three straight games as a result of it. The Rangers are hoping the 28-year-old can avoid the injured list but it hasn't been encouraging so far. The team should provide an update on Monday prior to the start of the Rangers' series against the Orioles. Marcus Semien is holding down shortstop while Charlie Culberson takes over at 2B.

Texas Rangers manager Chris Woodward updated shortstop Corey Seager's status prior to Saturday's game by stating that he "can't rule out" an IL stint. The All-Star suffered a contusion after he fouled a ball of his leg in Thursday's contest as Woodward went on to say his availability is "hour to hour," but that his injury hasn't gotten any worse. Hopefully we can get some more clarity on Seager's status prior to Sunday's finale versus the Angels, but managers may want to start thinking of contingency plans until he gets a vote of confidence from the team.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (leg) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Seager is day-to-day with a right leg contusion after he fouled a ball off said leg in last night's game. The Rangers are likely to take extra caution with Seager, who has had his problems with injuries in the past and is in the first year of a 10-year deal. Still, this doesn't seem like a long-term injury and it is likely that we will see Seager back in the lineup soon. Fantasy managers certainly hope that's the case, as the 28-year-old has been on fire in July, slashing .318/.394/.647 with eight homers in 85 at-bats. Keep an eye on his status over the weekend, and get him back in your lineup as soon as he returns.

The All-Star was 3-for-3 in the contest to give him a .249 average with 23 home runs and 54 RBI for the season, and he should be considered day-to-day for the time being. The Rangers don't have a scheduled off day until Aug. 8, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see Seager sit out a game or two this weekend to make sure he heals properly.

Seager should be back in the lineup on Friday. Marcus Semien will move from second base to shortstop and is batting second, while Charlie Culberson will start at the keystone and hit ninth against Marlins right-hander Pablo Lopez. Culberson is still searching for his first home run of the season in 82 at-bats.

The 28-year-old is hitting .245/.321/.467 with 21 home runs, 48 RBI, 46 runs scored and three stolen bases in 84 games in his first year in Texas.
