Rangers' Corey Seager: Could be out longer than 10 days
Rotowire
Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said it's possible Seager (hamstring) will require longer than a minimum stay on the 10-day injured list, MLB.com reports.
Seager missed just 10 days of action the first time he strained his right hamstring, but the Rangers figure to be more cautious this time around after he aggravated the injury and had to go back on the IL this week. The shortstop is eligible for activation May 21 during the second game of a six-game road trip, but a return sometime during the Rangers' May 26 to June 1 homestand seems likelier for Seager.

Rangers' Corey Seager: Likely headed back to injured list
Rotowire
Seager (hamstring) is likely to be placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
Seager wasn't deactivated Monday when the Rangers recalled first baseman Jake Burger from Triple-A Round Rock. However, the Rangers are expected to just wait to place Seager on the IL until Tuesday, when catcher Kyle Higashioka (intercostal) is likely to be activated from the IL. Seager previously landed on the IL on April 23 due to a right hamstring strain, then played in just five games after being activated May 2 before aggravating the injury.

Rangers' Corey Seager: Held out again Monday
Rotowire
Seager (hamstring) remains out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rockies.
It marks the fourth time across the last five contests that Seager has been out of the lineup due to a right hamstring issue. Seager spent time on injured list in late April and early May with an injury to the same hamstring. The Rangers are considering him day-to-day for the time being. Ezequiel Duran is at shortstop and batting ninth for the Rangers on Monday.
Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said Seager is out of the lineup for Sunday's game in Detroit after his right hamstring tightened up on a swing Saturday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
The shortstop had missed two straight games due to an injury to the same hamstring before returning to the lineup Saturday. Seager came up big in his return with two home runs and a double over four at-bats, but Ezequiel Duran came off the bench to replace him late in the contest. Seager is set to be evaluated Monday when the Rangers return home, but his availability for the start of a series versus the Rockies would seem to be in peril.

Rangers' Corey Seager: Taking seat Sunday
Rotowire
Seager is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.
Seager missed two straight games due to a right hamstring injury before returning to action in impressive fashion Saturday, when he went 3-for-4 with two home runs, a double, three RBI and an additional run to help lead the Rangers to a 10-3 victory. The Rangers haven't indicated that Seager experienced any setbacks with his hamstring coming out of Saturday's contest, so his absence Sunday could be a pre-planned maintenance day.

Rangers' Corey Seager: Returns to lineup
Rotowire
Seager is hitting third and playing shortstop Saturday against the Tigers.
Seager sat two consecutive days -- the latter against lefty Tarik Skubal -- to rest a right hamstring injury. He'll return to the lineup Saturday, and it's a positive sign that he'll man shortstop rather than serve as the designated hitter.

Rangers' Corey Seager: Dealing with hamstring injury
Rotowire
Seager was not in Friday's lineup to rest his injured right hamstring, Steve Kornacki of MLB.com reports.
Seager was held out of games Thursday and Friday without a reason given. It's unclear if Seager aggravated his previous hamstring injury, or if the Rangers are being extra cautious with the shortstop, who was activated off the injured list a week ago. Josh Smith filled in at shortstop while Seager rested his hamstring.

Rangers' Corey Seager: Out of lineup again Friday
Rotowire
Seager is absent from the lineup for Friday's game in Detroit.
Seager getting a day off when the Tigers send lefty Tarik Skubal to the bump isn't necessarily unexpected. However, Seager didn't start Thursday's game in Boston, either, so he might be dealing with some sort of physical issue. Josh Smith is at shortstop and hitting seventh Friday.

Rangers' Corey Seager: Aiming for Saturday activation
Rotowire
Seager (hamstring) took live batting practice Thursday and also did some running, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
Barring a setback, Seager is likely to be activated from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Saturday. The veteran shortstop is sporting a .286/.345/.468 batting line with four home runs over his first 21 contests for the Rangers this season.

Rangers' Corey Seager: Battling hamstring injury
Rotowire
Seager was removed from Tuesday's game against the Athletics due to right hamstring tightness, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning Newsreports.
Texas was up 8-2 when Seager left the game, so it's possible the team's decision to pull him was simply precautionary, but the Rangers should provide some clarity sometime in the near future. If the 30-year-old ends up needing to miss time, Josh Smith would likely pick up some reps at shortstop.

Rangers' Corey Seager: Still managing calf issue
Rotowire
Seager is still dealing with some lingering calf soreness, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Seager's calf issue first popped up late in spring training and he has been playing through nagging soreness. The 30-year-old has received two days off so far -- including Wednesday -- and Grant suspects Seager will continue to sit out day games after night games. Seager is just 3-for-17 with zero extra-base hits in the early going this season, and it's possible the calf has contributed to the slow start.
