The Rangers are placing Corey Seager on the 10-day injured list with a right hamstring strain, relays Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News. Texas is selecting Nick Ahmed onto the roster in his place. The Rangers designated left-hander Walter Pennington for assignment to open a 40-man roster spot for Ahmed.
Seager pulled up as he ran out a ground-ball during yesterday’s win in Sacramento. He immediately subbed out of the game. Josh Smith, who had started in center field, came in to play shortstop. Leody Taveras drew into center field off the bench. Any kind of hamstring strain usually results in an IL placement, but the Rangers seem optimistic that they’ve avoided the worst. Kennedi Landry of MLB.com notes that Seager is expected back right around 10 days from now.
More to come.
