The Rangers are putting shortstop Corey Seager on the 10-day injured record because of hip discomfort. Supervisor Chris Younger knowledgeable members of the membership’s beat at this time, together with Shawn McFarland of the Dallas Morning Information (X hyperlinks). Younger stated it’s too early to inform if Seager is finished for the 12 months or if he would require surgical procedure. Outfielder Sandro Fabian will probably be chosen to take Seager’s place on the roster and the membership might want to make a corresponding transfer to open a 40-man spot for Fabian.
There’s not a lot details about Seager’s damage or how extreme it’s, but it surely is sensible for the membership to be cautious at this level. At 66-73, the Rangers are 8.5 video games again of a playoff spot, making them successfully completed for the 12 months. That offers the membership little incentive to push Seager by means of any damage, even when it’s minor. Maybe he can get into just a few extra contests earlier than the season is out but it surely’s additionally attainable that the membership simply decides to close him down in some unspecified time in the future.
The Rangers might want to cowl the shortstop place till Seager returns or presumably for the rest of the schedule. Josh Smith, Jonathan Ornelas and Ezequiel Durán have every obtained begins there up to now week because the membership has already been backing off Seager’s taking part in time.
Extra to come back.
