Texas Rangers Expect Corey Seager Return from Injured List Wednesday

Corey Seager, the Texas Rangers' star shortstop, is expected to be activated from the injured list and return to the lineup on Wednesday against the Toronto Blue Jays after missing over three weeks due to a hamstring injury. Seager has been participating in live batting practice and infield drills to prepare for his return, which is anticipated to strengthen an offense that has struggled significantly in his absence, scoring fewer runs and posting a lower batting average without him. Before his injury, Seager was batting .300/.346/.520 with six home runs and 12 RBIs, and his presence in the lineup correlates with a higher scoring rate for the team. The Rangers have endured a losing record and offensive difficulties since Seager's initial injury, emphasizing his importance as a difference maker. Manager Bruce Bochy has indicated Seager will likely start as a designated hitter initially, with potential for increased playing time due to other injuries on the team. Seager's return is seen as a crucial step toward improving the Rangers' offensive performance.
