Corey Seager takes live BP for first time since back injury again sidelined Rangers shortstop

Corey Seager took live batting practice for the first time since being sidelined by a back injury on July 1.

Seager hit a home run during the session and plans to take live BP again before a minor league rehab assignment.

The Texas Rangers shortstop has been limited to 51 games in 2026, hitting .182 with 10 home runs.

Seager missed time earlier in the season due to lower back inflammation and a concussion.

Rangers manager Skip Schumaker indicated a rehab assignment will be discussed based on how Seager feels.
