Overview
- Seager began a rehab assignment at Double-A Frisco and in his first outing on Tuesday hit an opposite-field solo home run, drew a walk and made a standout defensive play.
- The Rangers plan at least one more game in Frisco followed by a day off to build defensive reps and monitor his lower-back response before deciding on activation.
- Manager Skip Schumaker emphasized that the player will help time his return and said Seager came out of the game healthy and ready to play.
- Seager has been limited to 51 major-league games this season after a mid-May back issue and a June concussion, and he is hitting .182 with 10 home runs and 25 RBIs in 2026.
- Texas holds a narrow lead in the AL West and is also tracking other rehabs such as reliever Chris Martin at Triple-A Round Rock, so Seager’s return could immediately affect the Rangers’ lineup and bullpen management.
