The Rangers placed Seager on the 10-day injured list Monday with lower-back inflammation.
Seager has been unavailable the last few days and had been set to visit a back specialist, and evidently that visit resulted in a recommendation to put the shortstop on the IL. Per Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News, president of baseball operations Chris Young believes Seager can return to the active roster prior to the start of the team's next homestand May 25. Ezequiel Duran will continue to fill in at shortstop for the Rangers until Seager can make it back.

Rangers' Corey Seager: Headed back to Arlington
Rotowire
Seager (back) is heading back to Arlington to see the Rangers' back specialist, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
Seager won't be available for at least the team's first game in Colorado as the Rangers begin a three-game set against the Rockies on Monday. The 32-year-old underwent an MRI on Sunday, and the results are still pending. In his absence, Ezequiel Duran has made back-to-back starts at shortstop, and he'll likely hold down that spot if Seager is forced to miss additional action moving forward.

Seager is dealing with back spasms and isn't in Texas' lineup Saturday versus Houston, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

It's not clear when Seager's back began bothering him, though Landry notes that the issue is considered minor and that Seager could be back in the lineup Sunday. Ezequiel Duran is starting at shortstop for the Rangers on Saturday.

Rangers' Corey Seager: Not in lineup Friday
Rotowire
Seager is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Astros.
Seager is 0-for-27 at the plate over his last seven-plus games and will get a breather as Ezequiel Duran moves over to shortstop for Texas.

Through 153 plate appearances this season, he's slashing .214/.314/.420 with seven long balls, six doubles, 19 RBI and 19 walks.
Seager went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in a 6-1 victory versus the Pirates on Thursday.
Seager broke the game open in the fourth inning, belting a three-run shot to right field to give the Rangers a 6-0 lead. The veteran shortstop had been in the midst of a mini-slump coming into the contest, going just 1-for-15 at the plate with six strikeouts over his previous four games.

Rangers' Corey Seager: Lifts fifth homer
Rotowire
Seager went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and a second run scored in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to the Athletics.
Seager has just three hits over his last eight games (3-for-27), but all of those knocks have gone for extra bases. He's also drawn a walk in six of those contests, but he's added 10 strikeouts in that span. The contact has been good for the shortstop when he connects, but he's struggling with the second part of that equation. He's batting .203 with a .774 OPS, five homers, 12 RBI, 12 runs scored, a double and one stolen base over 18 contests.
