" Corey Seager 's first rehab game is done. He played three innings, fielded a couple of ground balls at shortstop and went 1 for 2 at the plate," the Dallas Morning News reported.
Seager said he felt good after his outing for Double-A Frisco. He has been dealing with back inflammation.
"It's nice to get on your feet, move around, get your legs under yourself," Seager said. "It was good."
This season, Seager has seven home runs and 20 RBIs with the Rangers. He is an instrumental part of the Texas offense.
"In his five-year Ranger career, the 32-year-old has posted an .854 OPS, which is the best among qualified MLB shortstops since 2022. Just the fourth player to ever win multiple World Series MVP awards, Seager helped lead Texas to its first World Series title in franchise history, homering in three of the five games against Arizona in the 2023 Fall Classic," MLB.com reported. "In the 2023 Postseason, Seager hit .318 with six total home runs in 17 games. He had as many extra-base hits (12) and RBI (12) as strikeouts (12)."
