Rangers Seager, Diamondbacks Naylor Heat Up Amid Playoff Chase

Several MLB players are showing signs of improvement after slow starts to the 2025 season, providing hope for their teams. Christian Walker of the Houston Astros has found his stroke, highlighted by a two-run homer and four hits in a dominant win over the Dodgers, hitting exceptionally well at Dodger Stadium. Orioles' pitcher Dean Kremer overcame an early-season rough patch to post a strong 2.98 ERA since May, solidifying his role as a reliable starter. Xander Bogaerts of the San Diego Padres has also turned things around after battling a shoulder injury, hitting .317 with improved power and consistency recently. Meanwhile, the Texas Rangers are struggling offensively but have seen promising signs from superstar Corey Seager, who has heated up with a .308/.457/.846 slash line over his last seven games. The Rangers remain hopeful that adding impact players at the trade deadline could help address their offensive woes and make them more competitive.
