What Happened
The Texas Rangers have placed their star shortstop, Corey Seager, on the injured list with lower back inflammation. Seager made an early exit from a recent game against the Cleveland Guardians due to back discomfort, prompting the team's decision.
In response to Seager's injury, the Rangers recalled infielder Josh Smith from their minor league system. This is not the first time Seager has been sidelined this season, as he has previously dealt with injuries.
Despite Seager's absence, the Rangers have shown an ability to perform, with one report suggesting the team does not necessarily need their star shortstop to secure victories. The team also signed an infielder who is an ex-All-Star from the Blue Jays and Dodgers.
