Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager went deep for the third straight game in the team's 6-4 loss to the Seattle Mariners on Sunday. Seager's two-run homer off right-hander Carlos Vargas tied the game at 3 with one out in the bottom of the 10th. The five-time All-Star drove in another run on a sacrifice fly in the 12th to conclude a 1-for-4, one-walk day. Despite his recent power surge, June has been a struggle for Seager. After spending most of May on the injured list with a strained hamstring, Seager has hit .185/.358/.358 in 23 games this month. Overall, he's slashing .244/.342/.430 with 10 HRs, 23 RBI, and 26 runs in 225 plate appearances. While those are above-average numbers, they're below Seager's standards. The good news for fantasy managers is that Seager ranks in the top 7% of the league in xSLG and xwOBA, making him a candidate for positive regression.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager will take a seat on Monday with a left-hander on the mound against the hosting Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards. Ezequiel Duran will make the start at the 6 and will hit ninth against Orioles southpaw Trevor Rogers. Seager has not fared well against lefties this year, going 4-for-24 (.167) against them with just one of his eight home runs and six strikeouts. The 31-year-old two-time World Series MVP has also slumped in June, batting .143/.313/.222 with a homer, two doubles, four RBI, five runs scored and 18 strikeouts in 18 games played. Duran offers very little fantasy appeal for DFS managers on Monday. The 26-year-old Dominican has gone just 8-for-53 (.151) on the season with no home runs and two RBI. He's unlikely to make an impact at the bottom of Texas' batting order.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager belted his first home run in over a month in a 6-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday. Seager's solo shot, his seventh of the year, was his first in 18 games and his lone hit in a 1-for-5 night. After smacking two HRs on May 10, Seager went on the injured list for two-plus weeks with a hamstring strain. He returned May 28 and has batted a miserable .147 (10-for-68) with three RBI since then. Thanks to his woeful stretch over the past few weeks, Seager is hitting an uncharacteristically pedestrian .232/.319/.393 in 191 plate appearances. However, Seager ranks in the league's 84th percentile or better in xBA, xSLG, xwOBA, and average exit velocity. With that in mind, the three-time 30-HR hitter is a clear candidate for positive regression. He'll face Pirates right-hander Mitch Keller on Saturday.

The Texas Rangers announced on Wednesday that they officially activated shortstop Corey Seager (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list and optioned infielder Blaine Crim to Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move. Seager is serving as the designated hitter and will bat third in Wednesday's contest against the visiting Toronto Blue Jays and right-hander Paxton Schultz. The Rangers will ease the 31-year-old veteran back as the DH since he's been out since May 11 with a right-hamstring strain on the injured list for the second time this year. Fantasy managers will want to get the five-time All-Star and three-time Silver Slugger winner back into their starting lineups immediately. When healthy in 2025, Seager has hit an even .300 (30-for-100) with six home runs, 12 RBI and 15 runs scored for the Rangers.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (hamstring) is expected to be activated from the injured list ahead of Wednesday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Seager has been sidelined the last few weeks due to a hamstring injury. Before going down, Seager was hitting .300/.346/.520 with six home runs and 12 RBI before landing on the injured list May 11. He'll return to the middle of the batting order and hopefully bring some life into this offense. Fantasy managers should check back on Wednesday, but expect Seager to be back for the series finale.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (hamstring) took live batting practice on Monday before the series opener at Globe Life Park against the Toronto Blue Jays, according to The Dallas Morning News' Evan Grant. However, Grant says that he thinks the Rangers will wait at least a day to activate him from the 10-day injured list. Seager also faced live pitching on Saturday and is expected to rejoin the big-league roster during the current homestand that runs through Sunday. A struggling and beat-up Rangers offense could surely use the 31-year-old's bat back in the lineup sooner than later. Seager has already been on the IL two times this year with hamstring issues, but hopefully he has put the injury in the rearview mirror. The two-time World Series MVP will return to a .300/.346/.520 lash line with six homers, 12 RBI and 15 runs and will be a must-start in fantasy lineups when he's back.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (hamstring) faced live pitching on May 24 and is expected to return from the 10-day injured list during the team's next homestand, reports MLB.com. The homestand starts on Monday and ends the following Sunday, so it's safe to expect him back at some point within the week. He'll look to pick up where he left off, as he slashed .300/.346/.520 with six home runs through the first 26 games of the season.

Texas Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said on Thursday that shortstop Corey Seager (hamstring) isn't scheduled to return from the 10-day injured list for another seven to 10 days. This is already Seager's second stint on the IL this year due to a right-hamstring issue, and it's his third hamstring injury since 2023, so the Rangers are seeking preventative steps so that it doesn't become an issue again in 2025. Although the 31-year-old veteran's return isn't imminent, he has been running and is doing "very well" in his rehab. Seager's hamstring issues this year have been frustrating for his fantasy managers, but when he's been on the field, he's been great, hitting .300 (30-for-100) with six long balls, 12 RBI and 15 runs scored. Continue to stash the two-time World Series MVP in all formats. Until he returns, Josh Smith and Ezequiel Duran will continue to split playing time at the 6.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (hamstring) landed on the 10-day injured list with a right-hamstring strain on Tuesday for the second time in less than two weeks. It's similar to the injury that kept him out from April 23 to May 2, but manager Bruce Bochy said Seager's current strain is "in a little different area" of his hamstring. "We want to make sure that this thing is healed up," Bochy said. "We don't want him playing at 75, 80 percent. It could be [more than 10 days]. I don't know for sure." Despite the hammy setbacks this year, the two-time World Series MVP has hit a strong .300/.346/.520 in 26 games in 2025. In his last game on Saturday, he recorded two homers and a double. Josh Smith missed the last few games with a minor back injury but returned for Wednesday's game against the Colorado Rockies, and he should see most of the playing time at the 6 until Seager returns, which might not be until later this month.

The Texas Rangers officially placed shortstop Corey Seager (hamstring) back on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday with a right-hamstring strain and reinstated catcher Kyle Higashioka (intercostal) from the 10-day IL in a corresponding move. This will be the second time this year already that Seager has been on the IL with his hamstring injury. The 31-year-old two-time World Series MVP missed two games last week before returning on Saturday to hit two home runs, but he felt more hamstring tightness and was held out another two games on Sunday and Monday. This time around, he could miss more time as Seager looks to put the injury in the past for good. Seager should be stashed in all fantasy formats while he recovers. Josh Smith (back) should be the primary option at the 6 in the meantime, although he also missed Monday's game. Ezequiel Duran has made starts at short each of the last two games.

DLLS Sports' Jeff Wilson writes that it appears likely that Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (hamstring) will go back on the 10-day injured list, with catcher Kyle Higashioka (ribs) likely returning from the IL in a corresponding move. Seager is missing another game in Monday's series opener against the visiting Colorado Rockies after sitting out Sunday's contest with more hamstring tightness. This would be the 31-year-old's second trip to the IL already in 2025 with hamstring issues. He missed two straight games on Thursday and Friday before returning on Saturday to hit two home runs, but Seager was removed from the lineup on Sunday with more right-hamstring tightness. Ezequiel Duran is starting at the 6 again on Monday and is hitting ninth against Rockies rookie right-hander Chase Dollander. Duran and Josh Smith should share shortstop duties if Seager goes back on the IL.

According to the Dallas Morning News' Evan Grant, the Texas Rangers will have shortstop Corey Seager (hamstring) re-evaluated on Monday after his balky hamstring got tight on his swings in the 10-5 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Saturday night. Seager missed Thursday and Friday due to his ongoing hamstring issue, but he returned on Saturday to go 3-for-4 with two home runs, a double and three RBI, making this even more frustrating for his fantasy managers. Seager is out of the lineup for the series finale against the Tigers on Sunday and probably won't be able to play in Monday's series opener against the Colorado Rockies, either. Having already gone on the injured list with a hamstring injury this year, it wouldn't be a surprise to see him headed back to the IL. Josh Smith would most likely pick up most of the starts at the 6 if Seager goes back on the shelf.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager is not in the team's starting lineup for Sunday's series finale in Detroit against the Tigers at Comerica Park. Ezequiel Duran will start at the 6 and hit ninth for the Rangers against Tigers right-hander Reese Olson. Seager missed Thursday and Friday due to a minor right-hamstring injury, but he returned with a bang on Saturday against Detroit, going 3-for-4 with two home runs, a double and three RBI in the 10-5 win. The Rangers appear to be playing things safe with the 31-year-old veteran on Sunday, and he should be back in there for Monday's series opener against the Colorado Rockies. Duran makes for a very low-upside DFS play in the nine-hole for the Rangers for Sunday's slate of action. The 25-year-old Dominican has just one hit in his 16 at-bats this season and has one hit in his four career at-bats against Olson.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager went 3-for-4 with a double and two home runs in his team's 10-3 victory over the Detroit Tigers. The former first-round pick drove in three runs and also scored twice. He had missed the last two games with a mild hamstring injury but didn't appear to be hampered by it, blasting his fifth and sixth long balls of the year. Each of the 31-year-old's hits exceeded 100 MPH in exit velocity, and it was the second multi-homer effort in 26 games for him. Seager has at least one hit in all but two of his last 14 appearances -- going back to before his stint on the IL. Over that stretch, he's batting a blistering .375 (21-for-56) with 11 runs scored, nine RBI, and seven extra-base hits (four doubles, three homers). If he can stay healthy, he should again be among the best shortstops in fantasy.

MLB.com's Steve Kornacki writes that Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (hamstring) was being rested for the second straight day in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Detroit Tigers in the series opener due to a right-hamstring injury. Seager has already been on the 10-day injured list already this season with a hamstring ailment, but it's unclear if this new injury is related. Even if it isn't, the 31-year-old is in danger of heading back to the IL unless he's able to return to the starting lineup soon. Fantasy managers will want to check back to see if the two-time World Series MVP is playing in Game 2 of the series in Motown on Saturday. If Seager is out again or goes on the IL again, utility man Josh Smith would see most of the starts at the 6 for the Rangers. In 25 games in 2025, Seager has hit .281 (27-for-96) with four homers, three doubles, nine RBI and 12 runs scored for Texas.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager and outfielder Evan Carter are both out of Friday's series opener in Detroit against the Tigers and tough left-hander Tarik Skubal. Josh Smith is starting at shortstop and is hitting seventh, while Sam Haggerty is patrolling center field and batting leadoff. Fantasy managers should be on the lookout for more news on Seager, as he was also out in Thursday's series finale against the Boston Red Sox. This will be his second straight missed game. Smith is hitting over .300 on the year for Texas but is an easy DFS fade at the bottom of the lineup in a tough lefty-lefty matchup. Haggerty will be making his debut with the Rangers after going 1-for-15 in eight games for the Seattle Mariners in 2024. Even in the leadoff spot, he's not much to look at for DFS. Smith is 0-for-3 in his career against Skubal, while Haggerty is just 0-for-1.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager and catcher Jonah Heim will both retreat to the bench for Thursday's series finale at Fenway Park against the Boston Red Sox. Josh Smith will handle shortstop and hit leadoff, while Tucker Barnhart will do the catching and hit ninth against Red Sox right-hander Brayan Bello. Since returning from the injured list on May 3, Seager has gone 5-for-19 with a double, three RBI and four runs scored in four games played. The five-time All-Star and two-time World Series MVP has hit a respectable .281 (27-for-96) this year with four homers and nine RBI. Heim gets a breather after starting in each of the team's last 11 games. He's getting more playing time now with Kyle Higashioka (intercostal) on the IL and has taken advantage of it. Smith, who is hitting over .300 in 99 at-bats, will be a DFS sleeper on Thursday in the leadoff spot against Bello.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (hamstring) has been activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Saturday's gameagainst the Mariners. The 31-year-old has been out since April 22 with a hamstring strain, but will be designated hitter for the Rangers on Saturday and bat third versus Luis Castillo, who the 5x All-Star has had limited success against during his career, going 3-for-15 with a 2:3 BB:K. The 31-year-old was slashing .286/.345/.468 with a .354 wOBA and 131 wRC+ before the injury, and managers will of course want to get him back in their season-long lineups. Josh Smith is starting at shortstop for the Rangers on Saturday.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (hamstring) had a couple of live batting practice sessions during the team's current homestand this week, including one on Friday, according to MLB.com's Kennedi Landry. If he bounces back well, Seager could be activated from the 10-day injured list and return to the starting lineup on Saturday against the division-rival Seattle Mariners and right-hander Luis Castillo. With Seager out, Josh Smith has been serving as the Rangers' starting shortstop. Fantasy managers will want to get Seager back into their starting lineups immediately upon his return, as he was batting .286 (22-for-77) with four home runs, six RBI and eight runs scored before injuring his hamstring in 21 games played. Smith will be the odd-man out when Seager returns despite hitting .299 (23-for-77) with two homers as a super-utility man.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (hamstring) is targeting a return from the injured list on Saturday. Seager has been on the 10-day injured list with a hamstring injury but is expected to be activated after the minimum 10 days. Fantasy managers should monitor his status over the next few days in case he faces a setback. Before his injury, the 31-year-old was enjoying a solid start to the campaign, as he posted a .286/.345/.468 slash line with four home runs. Under the hood, Seager has generated an elite .416 xwOBA, .312 xBA, and a .621 xSLG, which are all well above the average marks. When Seager is cleared to return, he should be viewed as a high-end No. 1 shortstop. While he remains sidelined, fantasy managers should expect Josh Smith to continue to see most of the opportunities at shortstop.
