Rangers Place Corey Seager on 10-Day IL with Hamstring Strain

The Texas Rangers have placed All-Star shortstop Corey Seager on the 10-day injured list again due to a right hamstring strain, a recurring injury that has already sidelined him earlier this season. The move, retroactive to May 11, follows Seager missing four of the last five games and re-aggravating the injury after returning from his initial IL stint. Despite the setback, Seager has been productive this season, batting .300 with six home runs and 12 RBIs through 26 games. The Rangers activated catcher Kyle Higashioka from the IL, who had been sidelined with a mild left intercostal strain. Seager's absence complicates the Rangers' efforts to maintain a record above .500, as the team has had to rely on other players like Josh Smith and Ezequiel Duran to fill the shortstop position during his absence. Seager, a two-time World Series MVP and five-time All-Star, has faced multiple injuries recently but remains a key contributor to the team's offensive lineup.
