The Texas Rangers placed shortstop Corey Seager on the 10-day injured list before Wednesday’s game against the Cleveland Guardians because of lower back inflammation. Seager had been in the lineup for Tuesday's game but was removed before his first at-bat after his back flared up during warmups.
The 32-year-old five-time All-Star had returned from the injured list on June 25 after missing 12 games with a concussion sustained in a June 11 home plate collision with Kansas City catcher Carter Jensen.
Seager also missed 19 games from mid-May through early June because of back problems. 182 with 10 home runs and 25 RBIs in 50 games this season. Since returning from the concussion, he went 1 for 10 with five walks in 15 at-bats.
Texas called up infielder Josh Smith from Triple-A Round Rock to fill Seager's roster spot.
