Seager returned from a first stint on the IL on May 3 after the minimum 10 days and without a rehab assignment. Over the next 10 days, he played in just five of the Rangers’ nine games. He went 8 for 23 (.348) with two homers, but said he was feeling increasing soreness on every swing by the weekend.

The Texas Rangers placed All-Star shortstop Corey Seager on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday due to a right hamstring strain. The move was retroactive to Sunday. In a corresponding move, the Rangers activated catcher Kyle Higashioka (mild left intercostal strain) from the 10-day IL.

Seager is on the IL for the second time this season, with the latest move retroactive to Sunday. He had played in only five games since being activated May 3 after missing 10 games with a right hamstring strain.
