Rangers' Corey Seager set for injury return after missing 16 games
The post Rangers' Corey Seager set for injury return after missing 16 games appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Texas Rangers lost shortstop Corey Seager to his second hamstring injury in the span of a month when the five-time All-Star hit the 10-day IL with the nagging strain on May 11. Now it appears the Rangers believe Seager has had enough time to heal. Advertisement Texas has activated Seager from the injured list, according to Kennedi Landry. And he'll be back in the Rangers' lineup Wednesday night as the team's DH, per Jeff Wilson on X. Seager initially injured his hamstring on April 23, landing on the 10-day IL. The Rangers activated him when he was first eligible on May 3 but he ended up hobbled again shortly thereafter. Can Corey Seager lead the Rangers back to the playoffs? Kevin Jairaj-Imagn Images Following his second stint on the injured list in such a short time, the Rangers planned on being cautious with Seager, refusing to rush the 11th-year veteran back before he was fully healed. Manager Bruce Bochy made it clear that, even though Seager was eligible to be activated last week, the team would wait another seven to 10 days before taking him off the IL this time around. Advertisement The Rangers are hoping a more cautious approach to the injury will allow Seager to avoid any setbacks. When he has been able to play this season, the two-time World Series MVP has been productive at the plate. Seager is slashing .300/.346/.520 with six home runs, 12 RBI, 15 runs scored, a 148 OPS+ and 1.6 bWAR in 26 games. However, the Rangers have struggled without the veteran. The team is just 3-8 over its last 11 games including a six-game losing streak. Yet despite the recent skid, Texas remains in striking distance in the AL West. The Rangers are 27-29 on the season and 4.5 games behind the first-place Seattle Mariners in the division. The team missed the playoffs last year, following their surprise World Series victory in 2023. If the Rangers hope to rebound and reach the postseason this year, they'll need a healthy Seager to help lead the way.

Rangers' Tyler Mahle at risk of missing next start due to soreness
The post Rangers' Tyler Mahle at risk of missing next start due to soreness appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Texas Rangers have won five of their last six games. However, that streak could come to an end on Sunday against the Chicago White Sox. Tyler Mahle could miss his scheduled start thanks to shoulder soreness he experienced against the Minnesota Twins. Bruce Bochy is already without Nathan Eovaldi thanks to injury. Losing Mahle would be another tough blow. Kumar Rocker will start on Sunday if Mahle is unable to throw. Advertisement The 30-year-old has dominated alongside Jacob deGrom all season. With Eovaldi out and Patrick Corbin struggling to settle in, Mahle's consistency has been a calming presence. Even though he and deGrom have been thrown around in trade rumors, that has not stopped either of them from cruising through their starts. The are tied for the team-lead in wins and each have an ERA around 2.00 in 14 and 13 starts, respectively. Bochy is unlikely to disregard's Mahle's discomfort, especially if it is in his throwing shoulder. Those kinds of injuries tend to linger for pitchers. If the 10-year veteran tries to pitch through the pain, his soreness could turn into an injury that keeps him out for months. For a Rangers team fighting to get back to the top of the American League West, any extended absence would be detrimental. Texas hopes it is not a sign of what is to come, according to Dallas Morning News' Evan Grant. Texas put Eovaldi on their injured list at the beginning of the month. Bochy does not want any of his other starters to join him. While not having Mahle on Sunday would be less than ideal, the White Sox are one of the best opponents for it to happen against. Chicago's struggles have had them at the bottom of the league all season. Mahle's status is concerning for fans who want to see the Rangers return to the World Series. Despite a tough start, Texas has the talent to compete with almost anyone. However, injuries and inconsistency have held them back. Mahle's is the latest injury to worry the Rangers as the trade deadline looms. Advertisement Rocker is capable of filling in for Mahle if he only misses Sunday's game. However, an extended absence leaves Bochy with very few options. Their starting pitching could end up shooting them in foot if Eovaldi doesn't return soon.

How Rangers' Corey Seager is doing his best Juan Soto impression
The post How Rangers' Corey Seager is doing his best Juan Soto impression appeared first on ClutchPoints. Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager started his team's comeback on Saturday. His RBI double in the fifth inning was one of the four runs scored in the last five innings to tie their game against the Chicago White Sox. He helped set the table while Adolis Garcia stepped in and won the game for the Rangers in the 11th. Seager also walked twice during the game, taking a page out of New York Mets superstar Juan Soto's book. Advertisement Seager's walk in the third inning extended his streak to nine straight games. According to Kennedi Landry, it is the longest streak in Rangers history. Joey Gallo is second on the list with eight straight games in 2023. Seager's improved discipline at the plate has helped him overcome a slow start to the year. In June, though, his batting average is less than .100, a troubling sign for Rangers fans. His walks have helped him maintain an on-base percentage of .295 this month despite his struggles. Soto had a similar rough stretch with the Mets earlier this season, but still brought value to the team by drawing walks consistently. While there is a big gap between Soto's league-leading 57 walks and Seager's 18, the shortstop's recent stretch shows growth. However, the Rangers and their fanbase expect more from their All-Star shortstop at the plate. The 31-year-old spent time on the Rangers' injured list in May and has not been the same since his return. Despite that, Texas has won six of their last ten games to re-enter the race in the American League West. The Rangers are still a handful of games behind the Houston Astros at the top of the division. For now, though, their biggest challenge is getting in front of the Seattle Mariners and Los Angeles Angels. In order to reach their goals this season, they will need Seager to be at his best. Advertisement Texas won a title back in 2023, but has struggled with consistency since. This season, their troubles have manifested into frustration. Rangers manager Bruce Bochy was thrown out of the game in the sixth inning. That sparked the comeback, though, with Seager and Garcia leading the way. Texas has a long way to go if they want to secure a playoff spot. As long as Seager keeps walking as much as Soto does for the Mets, the Rangers should be just fine moving forward. However, competition in the AL playoff picture will demand the a lot from the team, both at the plate and on the mound.
