Rangers activate Corey Seager from 10-day IL
May 3 - The Texas Rangers activated star shortstop Corey Seager from the 10-day injured list Saturday afternoon.
In a corresponding move, infielder Jonathan Ornelas was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock.
Seager suffered a right hamstring strain on April 22 against the Athletics. Since then, the Rangers have spiraled. They posted a 2-8 record without the five-time All-Star and dropped from first to fourth in the AL West.
He will be available for tonight's matchup against the Seattle Mariners as Texas looks to rebuild some momentum.
Last season, the shortstop recorded 30 home runs, 74 RBIs and a .278/.353/.512 batting line in 123 games.
This season, he owns four home runs with a .286/.345/.468 slash line in 21 appearances.
Ornelas is a 24-year-old prospect. He made six plate appearances and went 0-for-5 with a walk. He batted .251 in Triple-A last season.

Athletics place C Shea Langeliers (oblique) on IL
June 6 - The Athletics placed catcher Shea Langeliers on the 10-day injured list Friday due to a left oblique strain. Langeliers was injured during a sixth-inning at-bat in a 14-3 win over the Minnesota Twins on Thursday. He grabbed his left side after fouling off a pitch. Catcher Jhonny Pereda was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move. The Athletics also recalled outfielder Seth Brown from Las Vegas and designated outfielder Drew Avans for assignment. Langeliers, 27, is batting .237 with 10 homers and 27 RBIs in 56 games this season. Langeliers set career highs of 29 homers and 80 RBIs in 2024. He has a .219 average with 67 homers and 192 RBIs in 368 games over three-plus major league seasons. Pereda, 29, was 6-for-36 (.167) with two RBIs in 16 games with the Athletics earlier in the season. He achieved a level of fame on May 15 when he struck out Shohei Ohtani while mopping up a 19-2 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Brown, 32, batted .212 with one homer and three RBIs in 33 games with the Athletics earlier this season. He was outrighted to Las Vegas on May 25. Avans, who turns 29 on June 13, was 2-for-15 (.133) in seven games with the A's. --Field Level Media

Guliyev to be stripped of 2012 Olympic medal after CAS dismisses appeal on ban
June 6 (Reuters) - Ekaterina Guliyev is set to lose the 800 metres silver medal she won for Russia at the 2012 Olympics after the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) dismissed her appeal against a four-year doping ban, the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) said on Friday. Guliyev, who competed for Russia before switching allegiance to Turkey, was banned for two years in April 2024 for the period from March 2023 for the use of a prohibited substance, with the AIU disqualifying her results from July 17, 2012 until October 20, 2014. The 2012 Olympics were held from July 27-August 12. Competing as Ekaterina Poistogova, she finished third in the 2012 Olympic final. But Guliyev was upgraded to silver when Russian winner Mariya Savinova was found guilty of doping offences, before she herself was also banned for doping. "In reaching its judgement, CAS upheld the decision to disqualify the 34-year-old's results from 17 July 2012 to 20 October 2014, confirming the loss of her reallocated Olympic silver medal," the AIU said in a statement. "World Athletics and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) are now proceeding with the next steps." World Athletics' competition department will now disqualify her results and then notify the IOC. The IOC may then proceed with the reallocation of Olympic medals, with Kenyan Pamela Jelimo set to be awarded the silver while American Alysia Montano will be moved up to the bronze medal position. The women's middle distance events at the London Olympics were heavily tainted by doping with two other runners in the 800m final since having had their results voided - Savinova and Russian Elena Arzhakova. Guliyev is one of hundreds of athletes who have been sanctioned following the 'Operation LIMS' investigation into Moscow's anti-doping laboratory which uncovered widespread institutionalised doping.
