Rangers activate SS Corey Seager (hamstring) from IL
May 28 - The Texas Rangers activated star shortstop Corey Seager from the 10-day injured list prior to Wednesday night's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Seager has missed the past 16 games due to a right hamstring injury sustained on May 10 against the Detroit Tigers. The Rangers were 8-8 during his latest absence. Seager is batting third and serving as the designated hitter on Wednesday. The 31-year-old Seager has served two stints on the IL this season due to the same injury and has appeared in only five of the past 33 games. Seager is batting .300 with six homers and 12 RBIs in 26 games this season. The five-time All-Star is in his fourth season with the Rangers. He is batting .281 with 102 homers and 265 RBIs during his Texas tenure. Seager was named World Series MVP for the second time in his career when he led the Rangers to the 2023 title. He finished second in American League MVP balloting that season after batting .327 with 33 homers and 96 RBIs Texas optioned infielder Blaine Crim to Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move. Crim, 27, is hitless in 11 at-bats over five games for the Rangers this season. --Field Level Media

Corey Seager is reinstated by Texas Rangers after shortstop's second IL stint this season
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Two-time World Series MVP shortstop Corey Seager was reinstated by the Texas Rangers on Wednesday after his second stint on the injured list this season because of a right hamstring strain. The Rangers activated Seager before their series finale against Toronto. Seager hadn't played since hitting two home runs on May 10 at Detroit. He missed 28 of their previous 33 games going into Wednesday night. Seager was out 16 games while on the IL for the second time, but that didn't count the two games he didn't play before his two-homer game against the Tigers. He missed 10 games while out the minimum 10 days for his previous IL stint from April 23-May 2, then played only five games after being reinstated before being getting sidelined again. Infielder Blaine Crim was sent back to Triple-A Round Rock after not playing in either of the two games he had been back with the Rangers since getting called up Monday to fill an open spot on their 26-man roster. He appeared in five games in his first major league stint last month, going 0 for 11 with a walk. Seager, a five-time All-Star, is in the fourth season of his $325 million, 10-year contract with the Rangers. He went into the finale against the Blue Jays hitting .300 with six homers and 12 RBIs in 26 games this season, and 102 homers in his 419 games with Texas. Seager missed the end of last season after his second hernia surgery in less than eight months. That operation in September was a right sports hernia repair, on the opposite side of his abdomen from a procedure the previous January. He dealt with the left hernia issue at the end of 2023, when he still hit .318 with six homers, 12 RBIs and 15 walks in 17 postseason games as the Rangers won their first World Series title. He was on the IL twice that season (left hamstring issue and right thumb sprain). ___ AP MLB:

Texas Rangers recall Jake Burger after first baseman played six games in Triple-A
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — The Texas Rangers recalled Jake Burger from Triple-A Round Rock on Monday, 10 days after they sent down the struggling first baseman who was one of their top offseason acquisitions. Burger rejoined the Rangers after playing six games for Round Rock, where he hit .391 (9 for 23) with two homers, six RBIs, three walks and two strikeouts. He homered in back-to-back games Saturday and Sunday. In his first 30 games with Texas, Burger hit .190 with three homers, 12 RBIs and a team-high 32 strikeouts in 100 at-bats. He was batting seventh and playing first base for Texas on Monday night in the opener of a three-game series against Colorado. Blaine Crim was optioned to Round Rock. Crim made his big league debut May 2, the same day he was brought up and Burger was sent down. Crim went 0 for 11 with six strikeouts and a walk while appearing in five games with the Rangers. The 29-year-old Burger was acquired from Miami in a trade during the winter meetings in December. He hit 29 homers and had 76 RBIs for the Marlins last season, after having a combined 34 homers and 80 RBIs in 2023 when he was with the Chicago White Sox before a trade-deadline deal to Miami. ___ AP MLB:

Rangers recall veteran infielder Jake Burger
May 12 - The Texas Rangers recalled veteran infielder Jake Burger from Triple-A Round Rock and optioned first baseman Blaine Crim as the team prepared to host the Colorado Rockies in the first of a three-game set on Monday. Burger struggled out of the gate with his new team, hitting only .190 in 30 games. He hit three home runs and drove in 12 runs for Texas to open the 2025 campaign, but had fanned 32 times in 100 at-bats and was demoted after Miami's 3-0 loss to the Athletics on May 1. He was sent down to Round Rock on May 2 and picked up his production in his last five minor league games. The 29-year-old, now with his third organization in the last three seasons, recorded multiple hits in four of his last five outings, including home runs on May 10 and 11 at El Paso. Burger produced 63 home runs and drove in 156 runs from 2023-24. After hitting 25 homers in 88 games for the White Sox to start the 2023 season, he was dealt to Miami on Aug. 1. He added nine more long balls for Miami in 53 games, then paced the Marlins with 29 home runs in 137 games in 2024. Burger was dealt to the Rangers for three players in December 2024. Crim was hitless in 13 plate appearances, drawing one walk and one hit by pitch in a span of five games for Texas. --Field Level Media
