Major concern growing around Corey Seager after latest injury update originally appeared on The Sporting News . Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here . Corey Seager walked onto the Daikin Park turf Sunday morning hoping his back had loosened enough to play.
The session lasted only minutes before the Rangers shortstop accepted reality. His back would not cooperate. Texas responded by sending Seager to a Houston hospital for an MRI exam and rerouting him to Arlington rather than allowing him to travel to Colorado.
Manager Skip Schumaker confirmed the plans. Seager will visit the team back specialist in Arlington regardless of what the MRI shows, because Monday's series opener against the Rockies would have been a scheduled rest day anyway. “They’ll figure out exactly what’s going on,” Schumaker said .
“Just what I saw today and him not going, I would probably give him a day off anyway tomorrow. But I guess [he’ll return] at some point in Colorado. ” The MRI results were still pending after Texas avoided a sweep with an 8-0 victory Sunday.
