The shortstop went 0 for 3 with two walks in his first game back after missing 12 contests due to a concussion. The activation occurred before the opener of a four-game series on the eighth of 15 consecutive scheduled game days.
The concussion stemmed from a June 11 collision with a catcher, though the player remained in that contest and later hit a home run. That appearance marked only his fifth game after missing 19 contests from May 15 to June 4 with lower back inflammation. In 47 games before Thursday, the shortstop batted .186 with nine home runs and 24 runs batted in.
The team placed its utility player on the 10-day injured list with a herniated disk. It also released an infielder who had hit .263 in 21 games at the Triple-A affiliate after being acquired on a waiver claim May 23. >"Seager hitless in return as Rangers top Blue Jays" — ESPN, Jun 25, 2026
